Now you're talking.Yeah, I would prefer to see Drysdale on the 1st unit with Zegras and McTavish.

Let's see how it holds up after the first 20 minutes of the season.I love the optimism in this thread
Worse yet, the injuries usually start in training camp/preseason.Let's see how it holds up after the first 20 minutes of the season.
To make the playoffs next year they'd have to post a single-season improvement of around 40 standings points, or about an extra .220 winning percentage. That happens--it's even happened to this franchise before, albeit in a lockout season--but I wouldn't look at this roster and bet on it.I just find it odd that most of the point totals posted here are, on the whole, quite optimistic, yet, when reading other threads all I read is how the team will still be shit next year and is still years from respectability or competing for the playoffs. Plenty of "top 5 draft pick" predictions sprinkled around.
I'm not one for making predictions, but this team has some good young talent, a new GM, and a new coach who both appear to be upgrades over the past. It shouldn't be that hard to have some optimism for a team you supposedly like and give them a chance before predicting all the negative stuff I read around here. Oh well.

GREAT PRESUMPTIONI presume there'll be a jump in offense based on coaching, especially on the PP. We were last (2nd last?) in offense so there's plenty of room to improve.
