Iowa should be much better than last year, 4 games is a small sample size. If McLean can't pull out ~7 wins by game ~20 then he should be fired with the current group of players provided. It's unfortunate Clarke/Toporowski are injured and Hunt is in the NHL but that's nothing compared to last year at this point when Mermis/Lettieri/Shaw/Milne/Bankier were not available and half the roster was a year earlier into their professional careers, many of them rookies. Shore/Jones aren't going to end up -100 with 0 goals, they're established as quality AHL players. Wallstedt needs to be better, though the GM hasn't exactly handled that situation correctly either.
