Unsurprising to most of us. Chad was put in a tough spot when being promoted early into a season when Walker's health had his step down. He wasn't ready imo.

It will be interesting to see where they go from here and who is behind the bench next season.
was i wrong to think he actually did pretty good given how hurt they were this year? it seemed like 25 percent of the season they only had 4/5 d dressed.

Injuries and Poitras sticking in the NHL definitely contributed to the outcome of the season. But his in-game decision making was questionable, they did as well as they did largely on Buchinger's back. Good coaches can make the most of the hand they're dealt, Wiseman couldn't execute.

fair enough, i did think they ran the goalie into the ground.

In my opinion the team did not live up to expectations the past 2 years for numerous reasons. Missed opportunities and it appears they are now building for our next run with Gillespie, Luchanko and our strong 07 and 08 drafts.
In terms of coaching - the lack of scoring
combined with the lack of shots on goal this year were head scratchers and leaving no room for error for our goaltenders.

Looked very good at orientation camp. Big winger who hopefully can develop similar to B Bowman.
Would not be surprised to see more 07 signings. Outstanding results from the 07 draft class even without Katzin
