I think the plan is to follow the one right now under new regime, of GM, Karmanos, Ventura, Granato and staff I DEFINITELY feel optimism. Not for next year, maybe not the one after... But the fact that were most likely becoming a lottery team the next 2-3 seasons, along with the potential Eichel haul, which personally I think is unrepairable at this point. And a staff who has pedigree of success in a bit of regard.
I'm not going to be upset with the results next year. I feel like some/a lot of moves whether in the draft or trades/signings, management has made it's uptempo.
I personally think bringing in Craig and Dell, 2 goalies for a couple years gives UPL and Portillo possibly the chance to sizzle and rip shit up in the affiliate leagues. Craig can definitely help mentor.
And with the fact that Peterka, Power, Mitts, Dahlin, Cozens, + etc young SKILLLED players we acquire under Meatballs behind the bench, it's a good scenario to have.
But anyway
