Saarijärvi is the only real disappointment, imo. Smith is learning to be a pro and never will be a point-scorer. You don't read his development from stats.
Svechnikov is injured.
Who else is there? Hicketts and Sulak will never be regular NHLrs.
I was once hoping either Ehn or Holmström to pan out, happy if either does. Ehn already did it thanks to his better skating an Holmström is still having skating issues.
David Pope, totally in the shadows. That's maybe a guy expected most, still as a long shot.

All in all, that team is mostly full of AHL veterans, and crap prospects, it's not build around Wings legit prospects, except Zadina. Hronek was great and he got promoted, but that was nothing but expected. He had the potential. Be great = you get promoted.
We have seen a change in our drafting, that our most legitimate prospects are in different leagues. Or, in promoted NHL.
