That's a bit overdramatic as far as concerns go.
If we want to be a Stanley Cup team, than we need some one to be in the Art Ross discussion. (This can be someone inside the organization or outside, I read this in the Hockey News Magazine(they are talking about the Flames.) They were ranking the Canadian teams for their chances at the Stanley Cup, they had the Oilers ranked first, the Leafs at 2nd place and the Flames at 3rd, their reasoning were McDavid and Matthews.

Since the cap:
-2006 Staal was 7th in scoring
-2007 Selanne was 11th in scoring
-2008 Datsyuk was 4th in scoring
-2010 Kane was 9th in scoring
-2011 Lucic was 40th in scoring, Krejci was "on-pace" to be 26th in scoring
-2012 Kopitar was 17th in scoring
-2013 Kane was 5th in scoring
-2014 Kopitar was 17th in scoring
-2015 Kane was "on-pace" to be 4th in scoring, but was actually 29th
Those teams had great depth and vey good goaltending. This was Matthews first season.
