I think what we forget is that this year we are quite capable of getting 3 top 6 forwards. We have the 6th overall pick, and two picks between 17-30, one of which will be fairly close to 17. And one of which will hopefully be 30th. If we get 3 successful choices here, this team could look very good. I'm certain that we will not be like the Canadiens, and turn it around in one year, because lets face it , this team sincerely does suck, but next season we might be a 9th place team again, depending on off-season moves and how our prospects turn out. Which is nice and kinda sucks at the same time.
