I don’t think that’s the case. I think people underestimate the time it takes for a bad team to get better picking 1st doesn’t mean you turn it around next season. We are seeing it with San Jose. They have the young forwards they have the goalie. They probably take a bigger leap next season.
Chicago I am not sure about.
For us 5 of our top 7 point getters are 30 and over. And it’s not like they are having career years either and they may he a step slower next season.
Outside of Zary and Coronato I don’t see any impact young forwards who would come in and carry us.
Goaltending is also always tricky. Every team goes through it up and down year to year. Wolf is great but if he’s just good next year we are likely in the bottom 5.
