I think the problem this year versus last year is the presence of less hungry newcomers to inject some energy and enthusiasm into the line-up. Bennett, really the only new face has been, on most nights, our most effective player points aside. I hope management sees the opportunity to play 2 to 3 young forward and 1-2 young defensemen next season. Let's not sign UFA's, lets take one more year and see what we have in some of our picks and prospects (Poirier, Klimchuck, Arnold, Kulak, Hathaway, Agostino, Grant, Hamilton, Morrison etc.) - hopefully over the next 20 games and into Christmas next season most of these guys get a shot at a few games.
