from the News-Democrat,
“Our mission is not to do anything out of a sense of panic or short term that would prevent us from taking our young kids and having them grow and making them better,” Checketts said. “Some of our biggest contributions this year have come from our younger guys.”
Davidson pointed to the Pittsburgh Penguins as an example of how a team turns around.
The Penguins were in danger of leaving Pittsburgh until the arrival of No. 1 draft pick Sidney Crosby and other high draft picks. Their core group of youngsters also includes Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal, Ryan Whitney and goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
They made the playoffs last season and are on the verge of becoming one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
