I look at it this way.
Most of this season has been development for the defense and evaluation of the closest to NHL ready players.
Next season will be development of the forwards we identify as worth a roster spot.
In the meantime we are ticking down the clock on players who will move to make way for those players while raising responsibilities of those remaining.
Year 3 we can begin inserting a couple players a year alongside our more developed young core group. That's when we can begin looking at acquiring/upgrading players. We should be a bubble team by that point at least.
Rising beyond that is then down to the performance of that group and continued development gained through experience.
We can reinforce/speed up the process through trades along the way, and RHD and goal remain our primary concerns.
Year 4 we should be in the playoffs and building towards true contention from there.
