Perhaps a signal from management to Foote that development takes precedence over wins, and just manage the effects of the losing will give Foote the freedom of maneuver to run the bench accordingly. He does have a reputedly good track record of working with kids from his days in Kelowna, which is something he can tap into. It will likely come in handy with the influx of kids coming into an already young roster.

It will be interesting if coaching and management can trial lining them up with a more skilled young centre and see what they can do as a scoring line. I get that Bluegers was the defensive safety net for the kids, but maybe putting Chytil between them might be worth a shot.

Moving forward, perhaps Cootes can fit in with them. If nothing else, perhaps they can develop into a credible second line once they get their feet under them as NHL pros.

Would like them to trade some vets, clear some cap, weaponize that cap by bringing back some older vets with expiring contracts or 1-2 year term at the most. Send all players down with waiver eligibility and let Manny work with them.
