I enjoyed the season. Several of the young players showed well. I would have much preferred to get a better draft choice than make the playoffs. By not doing so, we probably set the team back a year. We'll have to do some shrewd trading to make up for it. If we get a chance to move Gaudreau for a high draft choice or top player we should do so. He's much too easy to move off the puck, has too many giveaways and I'm not convinced he'll have a long career. I'd try to move Brouwer, try to keep Engelland, Stone & Versteeg and sign Elliott as a backup at least.
