Re: BU offseason thread - this begs some questions!
Unclear. Talent top to bottom, probably a tad behind. Don't forget last year's team was very overrated in preseason rankings, which then lead to unreasonable expectations. Their eventual finish - HE title, regional final loss - is right around where most who honestly evaluated the roster would've expected. The path to that result was certainly unexpected though.
But the answer depends on a few questions:
- Does Oettinger have another semester-plus stretch of inconsistent play?
- Is Harper able to return to full form an be an elite forward?
- Do Bowers and Cockerill take steps forward toward becoming elite forwards?
- Do Fabbro and Krys take steps foward toward becoming elite D and leaders of the team?
- Are Curry, Chabot, Amonte, and others able to provide a reasonable scoring threat on the 3rd and 4th lines?
- Are Farabee and Wise as good as advertised and able to step in and contribute immediately?
