I get our pool is thin and depleted given what it used to be but there is promise for the openings we have and the guys near ready. Fortier, Koepke, Perbix, Thompson, Howard and Edmonds might all be on the team within 2-3 years. Then two or three more drafts from now people will wonder how we've done it again.
We aren't looking for core players just yet. We have about four to five years before we need to hit a #1 type player. A lot can change by then.
