It's not an encouraging list. You've got jack squat for upside on that list making the top 6 aside from Tomasino, and MAYBE Afanasyev/Tolvanen. It's getting better, but this list is why we have got to make a decision. Are you a contender or not. If you don't know the answer then you're not. Re-tooling and shuffling things around has been fruitless so far. Poile needs to draw a line in the sand with a point total/standing position and if we aren't there then it's all bets off. I am ok with waiting on trading guys to get better value, but if he lets these 1 year contract guys walk with nothing in return, in a year you have to squint to think we are contenders...then he needs to be pastured.
Considering where we were last year and the year before I'd say that the list is pretty encouraging. I think the general consensus was that we were bottom five in the league both years, to be considered middle of the pack this year is a huge step up.
