Based on the Poll at the bottom not many people believe him.

Obviously some players are going to take a step back, you likely cant have career years every year, but at the same time you've got players that you're expecting to take steps forward.

Monahan, Gaudreau, Bennett, Hamilton, Brodie, Ferland, Bouma, Jooris. These are all guys that 'broke out' but are at the stage of their careers where you expect them to continue to improve with the odd stumble here or there.

Maybe Russell and Wideman dont put up career years, maybe Hudler stays even takes a step back.

But at the same time, 'taking a step back' from a career year isnt the same as 'falling off the map.'
