My experience is that when your big hope is that the same players will have a different result the following year, you are in trouble.  Your best argument is ETN because he is injured,  but injuries are part of the game.  Someone else will be injured next year.  Most of the others aren't playing because of poor performance.  Yes, young players sometimes improve but it also  isn't uncommon for players who suck to continue to suck. Let's hope for the best, but let's also not delude ourselves.  We need a new GM/HC.
