assuming this downward trend continues, we're looking at a lottery pick, and hopefully a good one. i'm really liking how our defense is gonna look in 2 years if our first rounder nets us a 1st pairing d-man (even if not jones, theres three other guys that could fill this spot - nurse, zadorov, ristolainen)
E-1st rounder 2013
Oullet-Sproul
Kronwall-Smith
and thats not including backman who i think can be a top 4 eventually. wild card marchenko could also be a factor.
up front we have (assuming brunner resigning):
brunner-z-franzen
tatar-jarnkrok-nyquist
helm-sheahan-andersson
ferraro-emmerton-tootoo
i think thats an average 12 to be honest, but if we net one or two significant pieces in FA and/or pav resigns, we're looking at a very strong team. perry and/or getzlaf would obviously help out a lot.
basically, we're gonna have a four year window starting in two years where we have cheap young talent all ready to contribute at the same time. i see this year as being the worst of the rebuild. next year might be almost as rough, but then i think we're gonna get a lot better, quickly.
