Quakes Offseason Prospectus

Peer my colleague Robert Jonas’s reporting, it appears that GM Jesse Fioranelli (and by extension, Chris Leitch) doesn’t see dramatic changes as necessary to improve the team next year. While that might disappoint some fans, given the historically-bad goal differential and numerous humiliating road losses, I actually think his instinct is on the money: there is a solid core on the roster, and I think it is more than possible that an offseason of getting healthy and solidifying Leitch’s tactical ideas, plus a bit of roster tinkering, is all that it will take to improve the team’s performances.
