Not to say that they won't finish the season with at least a playoff spot, but the multitude of signings and new faces around the team this season could lead to a slow start. Melrose has not coached in 15 years, the last time he was coaching you could knock blood out of Gretzky's head in a d**n video game (swingers reference). I like the signings but they didn't give him much in terms of assistant coaches, they really needed to pluck a guy from the college or junior system who knows how to incorporate many new teammates together at once.
Just a warning to Bolts fans, you have an excellent team on paper right now, but the boys are going to need time to gel and the coach is going to need to get his groove back before the big results come.
