I am aware that Paulus is a lightning rod for some, so I will leave him out of the following.
A simple question, really. How many coaches would jump at the chance to build a team around Singler, Henderson, and Scheyer? Now, I know we don't have a clean sheet of paper for the rest of the team, but we will have a bunch of pretty good other players.
Given the way people were playing the second half of the game, a good strategy might have been to restrict all shooting to the above three. (And maybe just Henderson and Scheyer).
Any way, if Zoubek, Thomas, and Czyz can be developed some over the summer, we should be pretty good next year.
