After adding Frost, Farabee, and getting Backlund and Bahl back they were a different team IMO. Shame about Zary.

Backlund is old. Coleman is old. Kadri is old. They won’t keep improving. Frost and Farabe might make up for their drop off but if end up trading 1 or 2 of those guys that offence is gone as well.
Team improving is very relevant because they are in our division and could be taking wins from us.
The team was .500 for a good portion until the 5 nations game.
Build through the draft. Stay away from free agency. Because we are in my opinion far off from being a consistent playoff challenger. We dont have the star players, and going out and trading for more support players just has us spinning our wheels.
