You cannot expect these guys (except for maybe Baertschi/Janko) to become your first line core (Toews/Kane) . We need to pick up those two stars in our next two drafts (Mackinnon/Reinhart), hope that these guys develop into secondary impact guys, and then add a couple key UFAs.

I agree with that. Although(even though it is early) I don't think our guys are quite at the level Chicago were. That is where this draft can really help elevate the higher end prospects slated to be first line players, which effectively bumps other prospects down giving us actual depth.
I do think that our rebuild is a little different in that sense when compared to the Oilers. Only time will tell though.
