Since 2007, Ottawa has become the team that everyone fears the most: one that isn't good enough for contention, but also is not bad enough to accumulate high draft picks.
Yesterday I gave some optimism, and today I'm here to discuss cold hard facts that may be disheartening. As the season comes to a close, the feeling amongst Ottawa fans is completely the opposite of last year. At this point last year, there was hope that maybe Andrew Hammond could continue his magic during a long playoff run. There was at least some hope that the team could build on this run and be a better team in 2015-16.
