I'm in the camp of compromised fans because of the conditions around our first round pick.
I think it will happen naturally with the roster that's put together, but it's hard for me to cheer for wins when so much of our future Stanley Cup aspirations hinge on a top 5-10 pick this year (and next, maybe).
I will cheer for growth and individual performances, and heck even some scrappy wins along the way to set the culture, but I'll rest easy if this team finishes where they should but show some spirit and growth along the way.
