And those are just using last year's numbers, which weren't even good enough to begin with.

Points don't matter as much as just being able to make smart, efficient decisions with the puck. We are basically talking about 2nd assists here as none of these guys are goal scoring threats. Just need to play solid defense, minimize mistakes and transition the puck. Easier said than done but I look at the 2006 hurricanes. It can be done. Just need solid guys back there who can think under pressure. We are lucky, these guys are young and may still improve. If they don't, it might be a long season but generally dmen hit their stride in their mid 20s. There are some decent guys there I think but I really don't like stone, zadorov or gudbranson. It's what Sutter wanted so I guess I'll defer to him but in reality our hopes hinge on hanifin and andersson and Kylington taking strides
