It's really hard to improve in this league, from year to year, especially if you are a bad team.

I thought that the new goalie would've helped improve this team the most...

I think he would have, but thankfully Soderblom has stepped up a bit. I think Brossoit is better, and can improve them even more if fully healthy though. Unfortunately, Mrazek has taken a big step back.

Teams are judged on standings, standings are the real representation of improvement as it shows your improvement relative to how the entire league is improving, the Hawks didn’t improve this year. But let’s give it to you, let’s say they improved by some microscopic amount, again it goes back to standings, if you are still a bottom feeder then you needed to improve much more, also 6 points is not much, it could be a luck deviation. Win 3 more close games you would have lost last year and there is your difference. It’s not a true representation of improvement.

it doesnt feel like much of an improvement thats for sure, but also not a bad thing, better off being terrible so they can add more to the pipeline
