Development of young players is a bit of an intangible from a measurement standpoint.
These are the parameters of improvement that BT set out at the end of last season. For a salary cap team, the above parameters would likely put us in the 18-25th overall position based on how the next few games go (I. E. No progression from last year despite an extra year of experience). I believe we can both agree that anything less would be a complete failure.
For the sake of argument between you and I, 22-30 games is well beyond anything that should ever be necessary to learn a new system/coach based on those parameters previously presented.

Textcritic & I had a pretty good back forth back on November 15th. I wanted to resurrect this at the end of the season, but with the playoffs clinched and the statistics not prone to major changes, I believe it is time for me to eat my share of crow.
PP% - 20.1% (12th) for whole season to March 31
PK% - 81.5% (11th) for whole season to March 31
PT% - .700+ (1st) since end January, .587 for the season (good enough for 11th)
GA - 210 through 78 games, good enough for 14th
At the time we agreed that this was fairly reflective of the key parameters that management had set out for the team at the start of the year. I believe on all fronts, the Flames have achieved what they set out at the beginning of the season and all success from this point onwards is gravy.
This has been a heck of a rollercoaster this season, but a good reminder for me that with patience and management support; hard working people have a way of surprising us for the better.
