To me this very much looks like a team to tank with and to not slaughter the youngsters. Which I understand. But then what’s next year? When stepan and coburn and gudbransson and brown are gone? Are we going to get more vets to replace them.
sooner or later Dorion is going to have to shit or get off the pot with all these young players.
The way I see it now this year is sunk. Next year he absolutely has to be play some youngsters who will be new. Another tank. In which hopefully we hit Wright or Lambert. After that nature will run its course and our youngsters will no longer be youngsters.
That's exactly when the young players, who have now tasted some NHL action start to cement roster spots.
All the vets will be gone, some presumably by the deadline and instead of forcing the youth in, you've eased them in and now they're more or less ready.
This is all my opinion of course, but i think it holds water.
Also, you're funny if you think Dorion will let j brown go after being legitimately excited to acquire him. Expect him for a few years, for better or worse.
