We are the youngest team in the AHL with 2 decent scoring prospects home-drafted. Everyone else is a grinding type lower pick or an undrafted FA. Same goes for the defence. The only consistant position is in net.

The youngest, no talent team in the AHL and he has them in playoff position.... I think he needs a raise before beng fired
I agree for the most part, although he does have more talent on his team than you think. The problem is that his best scorers and playmakers seem to be injured a lot (except Nemisz). He's got some good defensive prospects to work with, but even there 1/2 of his healthy top 4 are regularly injured. I think he's done a fantastic job overall as a result.
