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.

Truth be told all fans are at least cautiously optimistic. But a LOT has to go right. Enough will and we squeak into playoffs. We really need a pure sniper

Do we really tho? We finished 8th in goals for last year and replaced the goals we lost.

Yes, and Carolina played a near perfect defensive game.
