Can't say I'm that well versed, but I'd say they are pretty good at drafting, given some of the names they've drafted over the last few years. That should stand them in good stead for when Kesler, Perry and Getzlaf do start winding down.

You're right on a lot of those points. I think I'm probably not being objective and I just want them to become bad... I suppose it depends how much they commit to keeping the older guys around and if they wait too long with it (e.g. what the Flames did with Iggy).
Still can't wait to never see the three you mentioned on the ice again.
