In fact, it doesn't matter. Counting on all their players to have career best seasons in order to be successful, is a fool-proof management style.


Expectations for this group should be very high. Conference finals or bust!
You forgot to mention they also brought in a “solid” assistant coach (formerly with the Flames) that will also lead them from their “one off” season!
