This team really already has all it needs for a good coach (and we've got him) to fight for the 8th PO spot. I expect nothing less.
In the few games thus far where this team didn't play all that well (in CAR, in NAS, in SJ), what popped out at me is that guys made a fair share of completely controllable individual mistakes, some of which were uncharacteristically poor. Hickey was a chicken with his head cut off in San Jose. Pelech has been just that several games as well. Several forwards have had games where it seemed like every puck on their stick was soon dished off cleanly to an opponent. These kinds of things have been pure individual mistakes.
And it's the little, little, little things that decide games.
As for the next two drafts, there's PLENTY of talent in to go around, so those who may like the theoretical idea about tanking have little to worry about.
As long as Lou keeps those firsts...
