What is disappointing is that they overlook developing the players on Tier 1 for a move up.
That would mean orgs would have to admit there are very few legit elite teams at this age instead of a couple of players who control the game and the rest are interchangable with most tier 1 players
Not saying they will be better then Caps but keep an eye on the 05 Saints.
Had a few good drafts and retained their main horse. Look to be much better than last year.
That 05 group is a good group overall. Watching some of those players across many leagues it seems like there must have been something funny going on because that age group is extremely deep. RI, Mass Ct top level teams all very good.
Their assistant coach played in the NHL for goodness sake, the head coach comes from a long line of hockey players/coaches, and has an even-keeled approach. Take a deep breath, this team will be fine. Talk to me at the end of the season. No implosion zone!
