Duchene needs to rebound from a down year. And they need to get better, more consistent goaltending. If they can add some pieces they should be a playoff team next season.
once again i'm going to hope Tampa will snag a tough guy. not necessarily an enforcer, but someone big enough to "persuade" others from dirty hits on our smaller skilled players.
once again, i'm going to be disappointed i'm sure. Tampa only wants players who will add some offense too
