To all of the talk about generational talents, you can build a winner with a GT on your roster. And you can build a winner without one. It's a silly arguement.
Being discouraged because the team is experiencing some success is also silly.
However, we're 7 games in to the season - far too early to start talking about success.
One final question though, to those who are so focused on acquiring McEichel...
There are 20 or so teams in the NHL that are not at all in the discussion for the McEichel Sweepstakes - do you think that those teams are foregoing any hope of ever winning the Cup again? Is the future witout hope for those teams, since they won't be blessed with the Savior?
It's one kid. The team should continue to focus on developing the players that are already in the system - and that includes learning how to win.
Whatever draft picks we do get will simply be a reflection of how poorly we're doing with the current guys.
