So this will sound sacrilegious, but I've wondered if Josh Allen is paradoxically both why we are competitive and why we can't win the "big one".
I don't mean his contact size, nor do I mean anything negative about his performance (but of course he isn't perfect), but rather how much his "rope" his success has given to the tandem of our GM and HC. Are both actually not great at their jobs, but have job security because they won the lotto with Josh? And, if so, will that ultimately be our downfall?
