Sorry, I forgot to give my in depth view on this:
What we have now: some depth prospects that could also become 2nd liners, but are more likely to top out as 3rd line scoring forwards, such as: Horak, Reinhart, Ferland, Ramage Breen, etc.
We have some exceptions that we expect to be top 2 lines IF they pan out, i.e. Baertschi, Gaudreau, Jankowski, Backlund.
Here is where things can change though, the 2013 draft, we have three picks, lets say they are 4th, 15th, and 28th over all. I say we don't want to be over the top on one position like the oilers, so I say with the 4th, take Barkov/Best Centerman, then take a defenceman with the St Louis pick, (Ristolainen or Morrisey) then with the Pit pick take the BPA, as it would be harder to pridict how good a player will be there.
We will probobly still suck in 13/14, so then take BPA that draft.
Then Pray to god one of Ramo/Berra turn out.
And if all goes well, 2 years till playoffs
