The Sedins put up 50 points last year. They absolutely can get worse.
I would expect a slight rebound from Eriksson, though it's no guarantee.
Why will the PP improve? This is still a very bad team, with no offense coming from the defense.
Just because Benning has "filled the age gap" doesn't mean he's brought in good players. I wonder if this is finally the season people realize that there's more to a player than age, height, and weight?
There is more depth, but is it going to make a difference? We're without Hansen and Burrows which hurts us significantly defensively, and haven't replaced them. Expected regression to our goaltending, as well as Granlund, and the Sedins (age) won't help this team.
I don't think we'll be worse than Colorado because they're still an awful team, but we're a bottom 5 team.
Which was why they brought these players in, so that they don't have to rush the young guys in. Said as much in the interview, they want to shelter their guys.
Isn't this what you wanted? Or has that suddenly changed?
