I think this team has done a good job of a rebuild for the past few drafts, guys like Baerchi and Gaudreau although a few years off, have the chance to turn this franchise around.
If we look a little deeper at Sieloff, Wotherspoon, Gillies, Brossoit, Granlund, Arnold, Ramage, Ferland, Reinhart, Bouwma, Breen and Lamb we have a lot of potential NHLers and at the same time guys with a shot of making a difference on this team. Adding to it a top 5 and possibly 1-2 more top 30 picks in a deep draft, I think this turn around would be a lot quicker than people assume.
This gives me comfort in dealing some of our veteran players, I think the time to lean on them has passed. Sure they will be missed, but for how long?
