I'm not at all happy with this season but still glass half full. This team has a great collection of young players. Even if this season is lost the future is still bright. The problems with this team are correctable (coaching).

I also think however that expectations need to rise. Brian Burke used to talk about a rebuild having to crawl, walk, then run...I think the team should be at the jogging stage now, not languishing in the basement like they are. Not sure why they still seem to want to be in the teaching phase despite having a good mix of vets and young players. I said it before but this coaching staff came into this season like it was the first year of the rebuild, not like they want to take a promising group to the next level.
