I'm not as down on the roster as some of you. Poile has definitely shown much more this year by sending out Jones for RyJo, something we never thought he'd pull the trigger on for many many years.
Ribs, Goose, Nystrom, Jackman... they're not the reason we didn't advance, but they're definitely the pieces that need an upgrade. The Preds needs another forward in the top-6 to make two solid lines, and then a reliable third pairing guy who can play 70 games with limited mistakes.
Other than that, there are a lot of really good players who came within a game of the conference finals. A LOT of youth who have learned a hard, valuable lesson too. I like what's happening with the roster, even if I hate what has happened in this game 7.
