I would split the difference between Kehatch's assessment and New Era's assessment.

I haven't seen any of these guys outside of Horak and Baertschi play in the NHL. That will be the true test. That being said, both Horak and Baertschi didn't dominate during the prospect camp, so that should speak to the relative talent of some of these younger guys. If they can keep up with NHL ready players they should have a good shot at reaching their potential.

Time will tell, but I believe there is a good reason to be happy with the core of prospects we have. I think we may have to draft an elite defenseman or two, and likely at least 1 top line right winger...maybe a top line center depending on how Monahan and Jankowski develop. However, the foundation for a winning team is now in place and there may only be a few pieces to add through free agency in 2 years time.
