The vast majority of our prospects ended up unable to convert these talents to the pros or they were never given a proper opportunity by the club to do so. Only playing devils advocate, but we must remember that none of these guys are a sure thing to succeed, and that includes Sven.

yeah call me jaded, but "drafting has been improving" has been said every year the past few years. While it looks like it has actually improved, I will be extremely happy if we get even half of what you expect.
and yes, build defense out. Look at Edmonton. Look at the Avs and their three "No 1 C's" ....
