Next year might be a step back before they start progressing forward.

Very possible. But there's also the chance that guys like Cammy re-sign, and they carry over that strong effort and momentum. But like you, I somehow just don't believe it'll be the case (as that would be almost too perfect).
Like with young players, it's very possible we see a sophomore slump with this young rebuilding team.
The only thing is I don't see guys like Giordano, Backlund and Hudler losing a step, as they're developed players who've visibly stepped up their games to new levels and have embraced leadership roles in their respective positions. And with them leading by example, I don't see why the youngsters wouldn't feed off that again next year. But again, it would be just too perfect if that were to be the case, so to
expect that would be foolish. Perhaps like the players, I've just bought into this team and what it's doing.
