You don't need to want a star at every position to say that a fringe 2nd/3rd liner as your best LWer isn't good enough.
In an ideal world, I think you have one of McCann or Rust in the top-6 and one on the 3rd line. I'd probably say McCann in the top-6 and Rust on the 3rd line would be my preference, because I think McCann's upside is higher.
Let me put it this way:
Our LW/RW situation is fluid because we have a few players who can play both sides. However you want to configure them, we're in the upper echelon of teams in terms of top 6 (or top 9) wing talent. The mix may be off, but in terms of quality we're doing more than fine. Hard to suggest we're anything but elite on that front.
