I do think a lot of our prospects are future NHLers. Thing is though, there's really no point in getting excited over guys that can just stick around in the NHL. To win the cup you need several impact players, not a bunch third or fourth liners. Those players are very easy to find in free agency and through off season trades.
Even second liners, #3/#4 defencemen and serviceable goalies aren't too much to get excited about. You build an average team by filling your roster with average players. Spectacular players are what win you a championship and outside of Monahan, I'm afraid the team is severely lacking in these types.
