Find out what we have in the young core and build on it. Powell and Matthews, and to a smaller degree, Mejri, won't be here after the next season or 2, so why limit the others trying so hard to find minutes for these guys? The Noel situation is already approaching boiling point, and it's absolutely maddening that not only is he on a 1 year QO deal, but he's played like our best player and can't crack over 20 minutes?

THIS!!!!!!!

As I've mentioned several times we should win or lose with our youth as the catalysts and the vets in very limited playing roles.
The good thing is that Rick will be forced to play our youth about 25 games in or his job will/should be on the line if he doesn't.
