Why does it have to be a young guy? We had that, his name was Phanuef in his first year...look what happens when his contract was up, We had Juice, Cammy, Bertuzzi, Bork, Kipper for awhile, lots of players that Sutter has found at a good price to contribute more then they have been paid. So since there was no "young" guys in the system he found other players to fill those spots. So i am not sure you need only a young guy....eventually Chicago, Pittsburgh, LA eta will run into the same problem...too much money in very few...
