Some of us still remember the Rico Fata years... There's more hope in this roster going forward when you consider the abundance of draft picks, the fact that they can speed up the improvement (not too fast though) by packaging some picks and/or taking cap with sweeteners included, and guys like Brstqeysgszs or whoever the dman is we got from Vancouver.
The Toffoli trade and the Lindholm trade give me hope in Conroy's abilities and that we're not going to languish in some sort of Young Guns II purgatory for long. (Also, I forgot the goalie chaos that 98-99 year--Brathwaite played 28 games, the most of any of the 6 goalkeepers who suited up for the flames that season. Wolf will be provide better goaltending than that haphazard collection.)
