If you could start over with that core that Chia inherited, you should be able to win at least 2 Cups.
This is the CORE that Chia inherited:
Prime Savard, Chara, Sturm, Thomas. 19-21 year old Bergeron, Rask, Krejci and just drafted Kessel/Lucic/Marchand.
Throw in DRAFTS, FAgency and TRADES that every GM gets to do and you should be winning a couple Cups with that CORE. We look back at the roster that Chia got originally and, yes, they were not that good. But there were some amazing pieces in place --that were the CORE for winning the Cup in 2011.
We have the same CORE today, but now they are much, much older (in hockey terms) and they are all making way more $ than in their youth.
I'd rather start with what Chia had and win a couple Cups.
Thoughts?
