Did everyone forget we were still in the middle of a REBUILD or something? The panic is...

I think the thing most people are annoyed at is the lack of push from the young players. Let's face it, other than Pettersson, to a man every young guy that we have high hopes for has disappointed so far. Dahlen? Gaudette? Demko? They've all been disappointing, and it's frustrating to see. Add to that the fact that Boeser, our best offensive player, looks like crap, and yeah, it's cause for concern.

We've finally accumulated some decent prospect depth, but prospects are still prospects and prospect depth isn't legit NHL depth. Until some of our prospects take the next step and become legit NHL producers we're gonna struggle because you don't get young players of that ilk via ufa and the producing ufa's don't come cheap and are in high demand.
Boeser and Horvat are something to be excited about but they need help up front. You can't expect Pettersson to roll in and have a season like Boeser did, all you can do is hope. We're gonna need more from Jake and our tweener middle six guys and our defense as a whole.
