What's going to make it better next year? I don't see anything, only see things that wil make it even a longer year next year.
-Cammi will be gone so thats even less offence.
-I can see Glencross dealt at the draft not like he cares, he checked out when Gio got the C.
-We'll just have more rookies up front with Monahan likely struggling with sophomore slump.
-Gio has played way above his normal self, he will be good but hard to imagine he will have the energy to keep playing as hard as he has next year.
Ramo and Ortio will/should gain bit more consistency though.
Buffalo will still be brutal.
Vancouver will join the bottom but with them keeping Sedin I don't think they'll be all out tank mode.
Edmonton will still be crap but should improve a bit no? like seriously.
Florida with Lou and some good young pieces upfront will be better imo
Islanders? no goalie will still suck
Next years projection (obviously way early)
30. Buffalo
29. Islanders
28. Flames
27. Oilers
26. Canucks
25. Panthers
We will have a real good shot at McDavid or Eichel.

Real good shot as in 14.2%?
Assuming the Flames finish 28th overall. And McDavid/eichel are consensus 1 and 2. Only way Flames get either is to win the lottery
Even if they finish 29th overall, there is a 56.2% chance they won't get either.
Only way to get a guaranteed shot at one of them is to finish 30th and given this season and the fact there is more incentive for teams to tank next year, that won't be easy?
