You may be disappointed if you expect all 8 of those prospects to pan out.

I feel like all 8 are nhl players... idk that any will be top end talent tho.

When all of: Steel, Lundestrom, Terry, Comtois, Jones, Morand, Groulx, Mahura are permanently part of the roster they will likely be a very good team & Lindholm/Gibson will be in peak form having the best years of their career. Getzlaf will be old but likely returns on a short contract & continues to produce the way Joe Thornton has in his late 30s, Perry won't be re-signed at all, Kesler will likely be bought out by then or LTIR.
They may not have a superstar type forward but they'll have 4 lines that can score, great D & elite goalie.

One hope for that scenario is that the new superstars are getting such huge contracts that there value is going down and perhaps in the future it will take a better blend of valuable top 6 wingers to win a cup then 2 superstar centers getting paid $13m and a superstar d getting paid $10m. Perhaps the new formula will become 4 effective scoring lines and 3 quality lines of d. If that is the case then we should be well positioned.

I read it on Twitter, I think it was Denis Bernstein (from the4th period) - turns out only one TOP5 pick drafted since 2009, have a stanley cup. It`s Seguin.
I found it pretty interesting

Watching the game again this morning and manson might have been our best player .Big time turn around from him the last 6-7 games.

Also kesler's line was actually really good. Consistent offensive zone time and puck hounding, Kesler had several chances to be dangerous but his hands seem to have frozen.

Yeah very good chance most of these guys turn out to at least be regulars in the NHL.

I loved how the Kesler line was actually decent. I'm also happy with Ritchie. He is a completely different player this season.

That pass from Kesler to Hampus for the PP goal was incredible. It was the type of play I expect from Getzlaf.
