There are very few players on this team playing for their next contract right now, which is not always a good thing. Will be very interesting to see who emerges as leaders to take this team to a more competitive level.

I think the pressure is primarily on Peters and the players. Obviously if the season doesn't go well BT will be on the hot seat, but in the NHL now, most of the work gets done in the summer. He's delivered and improved roster - now the roster has to deliver. The pressure shifts from the GM in the off-season to the coach and roster in-season.
