One or two major breakout seasons from young players would be nice.
As for the play style, I hope they play solid all around without lapsing into scared-to-lose tightass hockey, which is never sustainable and always terrible to watch. Solid loose hockey that isn't lazy but doesn't turn every game into a grind either. Could be a tough balance to achieve but going full Brent will lead to neurotic, pussified hockey. They have young legs and minds and they should use those strengths.
(Mike Yeo in Minnesota will lose his job after this season if hasn't learned this lesson. Even with added talent, his team still played like an expansion team, which left them drained and without a higher gear.)
