Easy to join just as long as you have a sheep's mentality and can follow a herd.

I guess I am part of that herd.
For next season,
Not sure if we are better off without Bieksa in the lineup, but I don't think we are worse off with him gone.
Without Lack, if Miller stays healthy, the performance in goal should be about the same as last season.
With our forwards, Richardson was hurt for a good chunk of the season, I like him, but don't think we will miss him that much either.
Matthias' goal production will be missed, just wondering if they can be replace by committee and Sven?
I had been part of a group wanting more grit in the lineup. The addition of Prust should help in that department. With Bieksa gone, I don't think the grit on the back end has changed much, Bieksa was perceived to bring it, but we hadn't seen much of it lately anyway so maybe a slight improvement in that area with Prust.
Just hoping there is room for the kids if they make the club out of training camp.
I can understand the disappointment with the return from some of the trades, but it is done. Sbisa is an overpayment. Couldn't care what Dorsett and Prust are making.
I will put on the rose colored glasses and hope that the team has a bit better chemistry, team toughness and identity. If they make the playoffs, watch out.
If the miss the playoffs, hopefully we get a top 10 or better pick.
