Is the Guelph Storm's focus on development a smart long-term strategy, or are they sacrificing present success for future gains? With eight straight losses, their playoff hopes are fading fast. Is this the right approach for such a young team, or should they be pushing harder for a playoff spot, even if the odds are stacked against them? Grant Spada's improvement is encouraging, but is individual development enough? How can the Storm translate these individual successes into team wins? What needs to change for them to become competitive again? Could a veteran presence on the blue line be the missing piece? How much responsibility falls on the coaching staff to navigate this difficult period? Share your thoughts and predictions for the remainder of the Storm's season. Will they turn things around, or is this a necessary growing pain for a team building towards the future? Is this rebuild setting them up for long-term success, or could it backfire? Weigh in with your perspectives.
