- New coach and GM (that want to give young players every chance) - Let's wait until we see that the opening day roster looks like. It sounds great and all, but we also don't have the cap space to do anything but go younger.
- Arguably the top goaltending prospect in hockey. - Top five, yes. You'll get a lot of argument on top goaltending prospect. That appears to be pretty universally acknowledged as Wallstedt for the Wild. Looking forward to seeing what Wolf does, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
- New rink - No shovels in the ground, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
We thought we had a deal last time too. Let's not get excited until the doors open.
