1-4 look like locks currently, of some mix of Hagens, Misa, Martone and Scheafer. This will be another nail biter of a year, where falling from 4th to 5th would be devastating.

And look at that, RHP is about to return and he'll probably channel his 2022/23 form

It's so critical to have that 'next wave' of talent, to offer cheap, cost-effective minutes as all of our current core transition to being paid full freight.

All these 2nds plus Hage et al can fill that role of pushing veterans and allowing for a few high prices talents like Laine

Luckily, as soon as we start seeing some improvement to atleast 'fun' hockey, most will be satisfied. Frankly, theres no tweaking that could be done right now that would make this roster competitive either, so don't think mngmt could accelerate the rebuild much even if they wanted too

It would be nice to return to validation checks only being given to validated accounts of influential accounts/politicians etc.

So hard on twitter to know what account is real, without checking follower count
