I think it’s awesome that we’re in the conversation, but realistically there’s a lot that will need to go right.
Luke will be getting his first shot at full-time NHL play. Nemec is still going to be fighting for a spot. Maybe they both jump in and play amazing, but we lost a lot of skill and experience with the departure of Severson and Graves.
In net, VV will need to bounce back after the shaky performance in the playoffs, especially with Schmid knocking on the door of the starting position. Schmid is also likely to be starting in the AHL for a while with Daws out and recovering, so who knows who we even have as a backup to start the season.
We’re pretty set up front, not much to be added there. Anyway, love the hype, but I don’t think we’re at the Cup or Bust point.
