Re: Playoff success trending positively into next regular season?
The younger guys with an offensive tilt to their game do, for sure. Bennett, Niederreiter, Smith, Jenner, Eller. Not that I'm "expecting" a jump from those guys next season, but they have the talent so any time you get some extended production from them it can't hurt their long-term prospects.
Guys like Bourque.....just not interested. Maybe he can turn this playoff run into some extra opportunity and not be a total waste of a roster spot, but I'm not going to be hoping for 50+ points or anything. Maybe he scores 35 now with decent hits and PIM and fills your last forward slot.
