ah I see it's whether or not we have or will be able to have enough elite talent to contend.I love the promise on D, but yeah Newhook, Roy and future draftee are no sure bets to move the needle… So much speculation still. I like the direction, but it still needs a few game breakers to lose the “mid” feeling. I do agree a full line up of good players are needed to eventually surround whatever elite players they hopefully land somehow.
that's a legitimate concern. I do think the following could contend. But there are no guarantees:
Caufield - Suzuki - Salf
Demindov - Dach - UFA/TRADE top 6 winger
Newhook - Monahan - Roy
Heineman - Beck - Yolonen/RHP/ F. Xhekaj
Matheson - Guhle
Hutson/Engstrom - Reinbacher
Xhekaj - Mailloux
Struble
Fowler
Montembault
But of course this is just an asset base and there will be moves to get the right mix. It doesn't even include 3 of our next 4 1sts, some of our prospects, and what we'll get for Savard.
