Kipper didn't pay well last year. He certainly stole a few games, but goaltending was not strong last year, with him or without him.I see no change for next year in that department.
When traded last year, Iginla was fourth on team scoring..fourth...on a really bad team. I'm not concerned about that loss either...seriously.
I think that with some more opportunity, Backlund, Sven and Horak will improve their point totals...which is why I think the team is slightly better than last year, but still not a playoff team.
I agree on the coach. My guess is that he is turfed in 2014-2015..mid season.
