Two advantages this time are that the guy who had to trade off players should still be here the next few seasons to build his plan. It's not Feaster starting it...getting fired, than Burke stewarding it until another guy comes in. Looking back...that's bloody dysfunctional.
The other one is having your AHL team in the same city. So you should be able to better integrate your development team and NHL team. I get the focus is on needing 10 new Superstar players drafted in the top 2 to be a powerhouse.. but just getting those bottom roster guys who play 200 games for your team is tougher than you may realize.
