Question for those that wanted more of a tear-down approach, and I want to stress that this isn't about calling anyone out or saying that either side was wrong, I'm genuinely curious on opinions after some of our acquisitions have exceeded expectations. How do you currently feel about the state of the team moving forward with the approach that Army took?
Holloway, Broberg, and Fowler have all very much exceeded my expectations. Holloway is a legitimate 1st line play driver, Broberg is at worst a really good #3, but I'd say top pair quality, and Fowler looks like he used to now that he's out of Anaheim. As a team we are top 10 in both goals and goals against since Monty took over.
One of my biggest concerns was scoring. Long-term I wasn't too worried with all the prospects we have, but with how Holloway has broken out and what Bolduc has been doing, I really don't have any concerns there anymore, even in the short-term. With defense, it's now about adding young pieces, so that we can transition away from the older guys, but the older guys are still playing quality hockey, so that's less of an immediate need, and Broberg helps lead that transition now. I went from cautiously optimistic with some concern that we'd lack a true #1 D, to now very optimistic about our future.
