The current retool is the result of 5 key UFA’s deciding they do not want to stay after the 2 franchise players left/forced a trade the summer prior. I like the direction Conroy has taken the team and I am optimistic about the drafting.
I am really interested to see what moves this team makes this summer. Will they stay the course? Will they make a significant add? I believe the organization outperformed their own expectations this past season and it is good to hear the plan is not changing.

I disagree.
I think they felt losing all those key players and diving to the 9th pick last year, would see a similar or worse position if they moved their starting goaltender and didn't spend to replace what they lost.
I think the plan was a plummet, but Wolf and chemistry halted the skid.
Makes me wonder if they move Andersson and don't replace him to further push things downward.
I think the plan was a top five pick.
