I disagree as well. Knight definitely came on in the second half, playing on the top line or two, I would say he was doing well. Our team is so deep that its hard to give some of the fresh adequate opportunities, as we've seen with the limited time Cichy, Toews, Brun got. By the way, Toews is a soph, I dont think he digressed by any means, it just comes down to the depth that we have. Watch out for Cichy, it took him a year or so in the USHL to get use to the speed, but once he did he tore it up.
We all have reason to be upset this season, but next season we're really not losing that much (besides VV). We'll see the same team with more talent on the blueline and a year more experienced.
