In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
Good point, although there is likely a balance in overall team performance on progress for some younger players, stagnation / regression for others, and stagnation / regression for veterans. Konecny will be a wild card here as to whether he maintains the same high level of play or even exceeds last year.Are you to suggest all our under 25 players are not going to take steps forward, that the entire team will be stagnant?
Ersson and Fedotov will also be interesting to track, given their underwhelming performance towards the end of last season. With Hart out of the picture, can Ersson assume the position of 1A goaltender?
What I would like to see for this season (excluding trades):
- Healthy, productive seasons from Drysdale and Couturier
- Michkov acclimatizing himself to the NHL game and finding chemistry with Frost
- Progress from Tippett, Foerster, and Brink
- Farabee showing he can be a consistent 1/2 LW
- Consistently plus performances from Ersson and Fedotov
