Plus, it will be for 30ish games. They probably will struggle, but some guys will gain getting more ice time than they are getting now.

Add a star at the stop of the draft and there will be improvements next year as well. How many players will play next year in this draft? Stenberg under contract in Sweden next year? I would say there will be at least 4-5 players at the top of the draft that will play next year.
