From the current core, I want to see them develop some swagger. They are too nice - they need to develop some 'f-you, we're the new show in town' attitude.
And for the rest of the organization, I want to see some key development. On the roster, Bennett and Jankowski in particular, but also any of Foo, Mangiapane, Czarnik, Lazar, Andersson, Valimaki - anyone - would be great.
Also, development from the goalies - the franchise needs at least one of the young goalies to step up. They don't need to take over the starting job this season, but we need one of them to step up and show that there is in fact a starter in the group.
The team isn't ready to win the cup this year, but I want to see some signs that this group intends on going and getting (at least) one, sooner rather than later. Show me the signs that you're capable, guys.
