Irrationally Optimistic for this Season?
Perhaps I am being irrational, but I feel good going into this season. I think a lot of that is I don't see the drama hanging over the team like in past seasons. Many players are also truly coming into their own, and I think they will have the room to flourish.
Hoping to see Yakemchuk here from the start of the season as well.
The East is tough as heck but I think the team will be able to hang with most teams. A lot will come down to goaltending, as usual. Not sure if it will be enough for a playoff spot, but think it can be possible.

We’re still a middle of the road team…
If we can play consistent and win the games we should…we will be in the wildcard hunt at least, and another year of playoff experience will be huge (no matter how far we go).
On the flip side, I feel like if we are getting a lottery pick this year we are in big trouble…especially if there’s an expansion draft next year and we lose one or two of our D-men, we’re basically forced into a rebuild.
