Currently, the team is worse, on paper, than last year. Zadorov (assuming they sign him!) is a good pick up, but no kind of replacement for Gio (who I didn't think had a great year but is still a top pairing guy).

Coleman is a nice pickup, but not really a gamebreaker, it will just be nice for the team to have more than 1 right winger!

But all in all, we saw no real change in the team last year under Sutter, certainly the w/l record was no different under him than Ward (not saying he's not a better coach, I think we all saw some really peculiar decisions or lack of decisions with Ward).

So right now, until there's a big deal of some kind, I'm not thrilled with the team this year. Really, really want to see an Eichel deal, take the risk, do what it takes. 4 more years of mediocrity if something like this doesn't happen. The team so badly needs a driving center.
