There are many reason to believe that Yeo should have no troubles improving on last seasons performance though. With the threat of a lockout minimal this fall, Yeo will be given a luxury he was not afforded last season with the Wild. A full training camp, a pre-season, an 82 games played out over 7+ months, and time to let his players rest he will be given more time for the team to practice between games.
Coach Yeo has all the tools he could ask for to improve going into this season. Expectations are, at their lowest a playoff berth, although it should be expected they fare better than a first round exit this go around. Coach Yeo's fate depends on his ability to mold this team into a contender and his inability to do that this season may cost not only him, but General Manager Chuck Fletcher their jobs. Yeo will be on a very short leash this season, how he responds to that is yet to be seen. I have every confidence in Yeo, he is still learning but he will be a great coach and I don't believe he's that far off now. As I said earlier though, I'm not the owner, I don't make these decisions.
