Like I've said, I'm guardedly optimistic. Trotz seems to be exactly the right coach for these guys. A tough yet fair leader who will back his boys. We seem to have a good combination of veterans and young guys who provide a mix of skill and grit. The depth we have is encouraging. It's a long season with plenty of opportunity to suck, but I'm as excited for a season as I've been in probably 4-5 years.
I'm throwing caution to the wind. I don't forsee suckage this year. I agree with your sense on how Trotz fits.
The depth at both D and F is very good. The D is better than its ever been by far in the Ovechkin era. In fact I'd go back to 92-93 or 98 to find a group of D that measures up.
