Don't think if done right this tank takes as long, more cooking in the prospect cupboards. Last one TM traded it all away, there's more of a flow through the system right now.

Agreed. We're not starting from scratch this time like we did in 14. Botterill hit on picks at a nice clip thus far and Kyvyn and Jason need to continue that.

I expected the forwards to be a blowout in favor of this year's squad until I started looking at the numbers.

It's uh

There's talent on this roster, can Meatballs keep them growing and playing hard through the tuff times the next few years. If certain players keep growing and a few other youngins in the pipeline take the next step, this could be a very fun team to watch in 2yrs.

Agreed. Plus right now the roster is minus Eichel and minus whatever Eichel would return in a trade.

That is a lot of 'ifs', and it is likely some of those 'ifs' won't turn out well.

Actual 14/15 vs your expected 20/21 makes for some interesting conclusions. It's fun, but doesn't seem objective.

Agreed. Injuries and trades make it a weird exercise. DLo (82 games) and Coho (78) were the only ones who played most or all games. PPG are included for that reason

It's really the 2014-15 "dream team" without the substantial games played of Ellis, Schaller, McCormick, etc. vs this year's roster.

Yeah I think so. I had fun going back and looking at the stats from that year.

Man, Coho really deteriorated quickly
