Prospect Info: Luke Tuch

It’s clear HuGo will view this year as a failure if the team isn’t playing for a playoff spot into April - I don’t see them derailing team chemistry for the sake of draft picks if the team is in a position to compete for a playoff spot at deadline

Nope. That's stretching it.
The hype this year has been blown out of proportion people have us running when we haven't even shown we can walk yet.
First things first let's get out of the pre-season and see what our team looks like.
Then we need to look at the first 10-15 games to determine if we can hold our own on special teams.
If that goes well and we aren't bleeding goals and giving up zone time then expectations can start to rise.
We will have to beat teams in our division starting with Ottawa who now have us at 9 straight on the wrong side.

There’s more lessons to learn hence more losing, but, we’re getting into one step back two steps forward territory.
