We don't have that many great prospects, so there is an inpetus to groom our prospects well. I hope this will be the guy to do that. We desparately need cheap top 6/4 players, enough of the $3-4.5M 30+ year olds.

What will be the measure of a success, at least 2 (1F,1D) graduate to NHL at the start of every year, and 1 during season? One 1st-2nd line player every 2nd year?

Can we project any of our prospects to top positions?

Brodie maybe this year, Nemisz, Reinhart, Howse, Wahl, Breen, Ramage and Irving over the next 5 years? One can dream.
