I'm under the impression that Feaster has done what he could to stay competitive, although he's well aware that if we falter we can trade high-end assets at the deadline. My biggest fear was us not having a season, and losing the opportunity to:
1) See what the teams results are on-ice.
2) Allow some of our prospects and youth to get lesser roles and learn the complete game.
3) Miss the final opportunity to sell some assets at the deadline, such as Iggy, Cammy, Kipper, etc. Especially with it looking like a sellers market in a deep draft year.
This draft we should ensure we acquire that coveted #1C such as Mackinnon or Barkov if possible. Moving forward 4-5 years, having a deep middle with Jankowski, Backlund and a big #1C along with our other prospects we will have some great building blocks moving forward and add grit/speed as need be.
