Definitely the latter

Guess we'll find out how good he is without Crosby/Malkin/Letang. 

After their cup runs in his first two seasons, he was pretty damn underwhelming...

2018 - Bounced EC Semis

2019 - Swept first round

2020 - Bounced first round

2021 - Bounced first round

2022 - Bounced first round

2023 - No playoffs

2024 - No playoffs

2025 - No playoffs

So, they didn't win a playoff series in his last 7 years, and missed the playoffs the last 3. They had all kinds of roster issues from about 2021-on as their big-3 aged and they struggled to put good complementary pieces around them. That Karlsson trade will always boggle my mind. But, yeah, results haven't been very good for quite a while.

Can't make chicken salad from chicken #### regardless of how good the chef is.
