This is one of the reasons I really wish they had brought in the younger players this season. Let them play and get used to the NHL and then next season you know what you have, and what we still need. My worry is if this group comes up short we still have to inject some more players next season. It's kind of the same concern I had with the last coaching hires ... We basically wasted some valuable time and years for certain players. It's a good question now, are we moving forward, or are we on the backswing?
