In all likelihood not one top goalie.
Not very many potential impact players...not near what most NHL teams have.
I believe that is as weak as it gets.

The Young Guns were actually in a better position as they had a young Iginla, Stillman, Savard, Morris, Regehr, etc. The issue then was that there wasn't enough money to add quality depth and veteran skill. This team has the resources to add UFA's but zero impact players. Not very promising and really the only chance they have to compete going forward is to play a close to the vest style of hockey like the Predators.
