Welcome back to our roundtable! Yesterday, we simply looked at the positives and negatives of 2015-16; today, we're looking ahead towards the 2016-17 season. Will it be an improvement? Well, we all certainly hope so.
Which positives will carry over into next year? Which negatives?
Ari: I want to say there's no way the goaltending can be this bad again. Like how the Flames' shooting percentage from before was unsustainable, this year's save percentage has to be too, right? I'm trusting Treliving to fix this. Really, I think the positives of the kids continuing to grow will carry over into the next season, while the only negative I'm wary of is awful deployment and special teams to go with it - which I suspect won't be fixed unless there's a major change at the coaching level.
