I don't see us being better, but we truly had terrible goaltending numbers last year. Part of that is a porous defense. We might have less skill on the back end, but it may end up being slightly better defensively. Goaltending can only improve, and there's going to be a lot of competition for playing time.
With young hungry players and a team that is coached and motivated well by Hartley (which will be easier after the purge), there's no way we won't be competitive enough to stay out of 30th. It's good and bad.
