Burke famously said you have to walk before you run, run before you sprint. Our playoff win in 2015 might have been the worst thing to happen to us -- it caused us to think our rebuild was further along than it was.
Stay the course. Promote youth.
My two cents.

Who? Who do we have that we can promote from within that legitimately seems like a top six option at RW? Because right now we have Ferland who was promoted from within playing on the top line and it's working out alright but we need more. It's a nice idea but specifically who do we have that has a chance? Or do we just say f it and throw any RW from the AHL in there and pray for the best?
