I agree with @JoelWarlord posted but I want to add something. While we do have to overcome some issues as a team, Injuries, deadweight, youth etc. The majority of posters want to see the team play with some more attention to detail. It is a given that young players will still struggle but it isn't optimal to have them trying to survive at the NHL level as we are seeing right now.
The organization should be trying to instill good habits in the down years and when these guys hit the 23-25 year old mark they will be able to teach/mentor Hage, Demidov, Beck and others that join the roster. We aren't accomplishing much by having a group of players looking like they are playing pond hockey out there.
We have to be careful not to go the route of some other NHL teams that have been rebuilding for a long time, Buffalo comes to mind. I am disappointed a little because I had expectations of more based on the promise from last year. We showed a higher compete level last season and hopefully it turns around.
