Becuz Yzerman was good in Tampa

That's literally the only reason why.

But honestly, Holland f***ed that place up even worse than Lou did hear. I'd not look for them to really be anything special until 25-26. At least not consistently. Maybe they'll have one playoff making season before that, like we did in 17-18. They may have some attainable success before that, but it won't be sustainable success.

The big issue with them is I don't think they'll ever be bad enough to get what they need. Without lucking into lotto wins I don't see them hitting that high end contender level. On the backend I think they could end up good with Seider and Edvinsson but they don't come anywhere close to the high end forward talent necessary.

Definitely need a Raymond bounce back and Kasper is their biggest "what if" on the forward side. If he's good, they'll be in good shape.

Really want Boqvist to stick in the bottom-6. He's perfect there and has embraced that role. Shouldn't be too hard to keep him around.

Kasper could be good but I don't think he'll ever be that elite 1C. Maybe him and Larkin as 2 good 1Cs is enough but for that to be the case you'd probably need elite wings and outside of maybe Raymond or someone they pick in the future I don't see it. Like I think they'll end up working there way to being a playoff team but I don't see a contending core there without adding at least 2 elite forwards on top of Raymond panning out as one.
