Its hilarious to think, that win-percent wise we are one of the best in NHL history. Irving could have been a number one goaltender. I think Baertschi could be the next Jarome Iginla for this organization if, and ONLY IF, he's developed properly. Playing with two goons isn't how you develop someone with so much potential. Honestly, our last two drafts were pretty good. We probably had the best draft picks in 2011 our of the whole league, every single pick is doing fantastic. Hopefully we can get Gaudreau in the lineup soon. Jankowski may actually turn out well. But none of these players are going to be the future Kipper and Iggy. Back in 05 i could see why we still put faith in our core, they were both in their prime. But now they're just not elite. They have a similar trade value to elite players.. so maybe getting some first rounders in this upcoming draft would be a good idea.
