Mmm
I am still excited as there is still bundles of talent that can surprise and develop. With even minor steps from the core and decent goaltending we can have a great season.
I just do not think the choices of Okposo and Sobotka making this roster is us icing our best possible roster - so I cannot fathom why we are. We are anchoring ourselves from the get go with likely playing Sobotka 17 minutes. So for over a quarter of the game against the Penguins we will be riddled with a player who for the last 150 games is near the top for being the worst forward in the NHL.
For a team that has under delivered the last two years, there should be less leeway, forgiveness, and patience with the bottom of the roster by our top brass. If players did not hustle, produce scoring chances, and enter/exit zones decently they should be removed no later then the end of season - yet here we are blank slating garbage expecting it to have washed itself.
