If I'm honest, this will be the first season in a while where I'm not going into it thinking that in the long-run it would be preferable for the team to get a high draft pick as opposed to make the playoffs.

I think I'm most excited to just see if this young core can sink or swim, especially now that goaltending should be a bit more reliable. While there's a long way to go, and still don't care if me we make the playoffs, I think we're in a pretty good spot to take the next step.
