To me that’s asking for all the stars to align and I think that’s kinda hopeful thinking. I’m much more cautiously optimistic at seeing the young guys come in. I’m really hoping to see more speed, skill and quickness added. We should see some of that with a couple young guys brought in.

I agree, there's reasons for both optimism and pessimism. I'm on record saying I prefer the optimistic side of things, it's a sport meant to entertain. I think a new coach/system will suit many players very well. But to take the negative view for every player/scenario is beyond being just pessimistic.
