I think year 3 of Bedard is when we'll start to see a turnaround as well.
I feel like once they surround him with some more top 6 talent and trim some of the fat off this roster as a result they'll be right in the thick of it.
Here's hoping that Commesso (or someone else) comes to the NHL and plays like a stud in nets for them and the young defensemen mature in to the roles they were drafted for.
There's light at the end of this tunnel, but much like last year, they need the best first round pick they can get. Top 5 pick, let's go.
