All I'm saying is we're roughly where we should be for our rebuild. Especially for a rebuild where we didn't win a single lottery. We have no idea how the team will perform in the playoffs, and we have no idea how they will perform in the next few seasons as the core starts to enter its prime.
It's only a couple players that we should notice huge leaps from...most of the core has already been in its prime minus stutzle, Sanderson, and Greig. Everyone else is what they are +/- a small percentage barring some miracle.
Greig - 22 (later bloomer offensively so should improve all around)
Sanderson - 22 (still room to grow as a D)
Stutzle - 23 (in offensive prime, but should become better overall player)
Pinto - 24 (small improvements expected)
Cozens - 24 (small improvements expected)
Tkachuk - 25 (is what he is...might improve in playoffs with playoff experience)
Batherson - 27 in a few weeks (he is what he is)
----------
Chabot - 28 (we actually might see regression as his skating slows down...he's never been able to repeat his second season)
Zub - 29 (are we already noticing slight regression with his injuries?)
Ullmark - 31 (in his prime but should start to slow down)
Jensen - 34 (probably will keep getting a bit worse)
Giroux - 37 (is noticeably declining)
Perron - 37 in a few weeks (also noticeably declining)
So we have some players that might see some improvements, while others will see some decline...and the rest are what they are, in their primes.
