Better coaching. better management, better depth, better Pk, better bottom 6, better D, Neal in Lucic out.

May not make the playoffs but the team should be - ahem - visually better.....

This might be the first season people actually understand what the hell that means and agree with it.

Its going to take a little time but I am looking forward to seeing the team execute the new systems.
I think thats going to be a significant difference maker.

Also looking forward to seeing Burdasov play. :D

I think things are finally going to head in the right direction. Holland being hired was smart. He's not a dolt like Chiarelli. Very interested a year from now when more money gets freed up and what he does with it.

I always try to be positive because this is suppose to be fun. But they have McDavid and that is enough reason for me to watch. He's such a special player.

I am more or less always positive, to many other things to worry about in life to be down over hockey.

Hoping for a good season with much more impact from the bottom 6 and decent goalkeeping. Not too worried about the top 6, but that is thanks to McDavid and Draisaitl alone. D could be better, could be worse. If there are no injuries to our top 3 Ds I like our chances to be in the race for playoffs.

I am trying guys. But in the back of my mind i am thinking, for the love of god, if Talbot has a Vezina worthy season my brain might not be able to take it.

We actually acquired enough bottom 6 talent to fill out a roster, which is much different from our usual plan of throwing the youngins to the wolves and hoping for the best

The Edmonton Eskimos were a Canadian amateur and later professional men's ice hockey team that existed from 1911 to 1927. The Eskimos played for the Stanley Cup against the Ottawa Senators in 1923. The Eskimos defeated the Regina Capitals to win the 1923 WCHL playoffs. They were also the 1923 regular league champions. The Eskimos came in second in the 1922 and 1926 WCHL playoffs.
