I feel I've been waiting forever for a thread like this. I'm such a big proponent of baseball and how crucial development is to the future of baseball teams even in a league without a salary cap, that it goes to show how important prospect development is. We have depth - we have no shortage of 3rd and 4th line guys. But we need guys who look like they'll be in our top six. We need young, dynamic forwards. We don't have a lot to look forward to in our farm system outside of goaltending.
Better scouting. Bigger scouting budget. Sign the best players available. Let's get it right this time. Because until we do, we're going to be stay as a mid-tier team getting by with cheap FAs.
