Positives

The prospects will finally get a big opportunity to step up
This team is likely going be a lot more fun to watch in the offensive zone, and in transition this year
Conroy strength seems to be identifying good prospects, which is a great foundation for building a team. In addition, he seems to encourage collaboration, and ownership of the team's decisions from the entire managerial staff.

Negatives

We are unlikely to get a good value or sell high on our upcoming UFA's because of the cap situation
Moving from Sutter to Huska is a downgrade, because Huska is an unproven coach, and he didn't show anything special as the interim coach with a 0-1-1 record.
The room has been a problem and it hasn't been addressed sufficiently. Almost all the players who can, want to leave the team. I almost expect our top players to try and pad their stats for free agency instead of worrying about the team's wins and losses.
