So while I was searching for that quote a few posts up I came across the entire year end press conference from MacTavish in which he said the above quote. What's more interesting, is what else he said:

“We’re closer to the end in my mind than we are to the beginning in terms of the development of this team,” MacTavish said Tuesday at a season-ending media availability.

Quote:
MacTavish has no plans to add anything “middle of the road” to the current defence core and feels the team’s younger players can fill those positions.
He does plan to target a high-end defenceman in the off-season.
“We need a few pieces that can really move this thing along,” said MacTavish.

Quote:
“We’re building our team around this group,” he said. “And you have to have pieces in that locker-room that you view as guys that are going to develop into winners and guys that are going to develop into superstars.
“I feel strongly that we have a number of those pieces in there and those are the guys we’re going to build that team around. I want them to feel the ownership, I want them to feel the loyalty from myself and the coaching staff that we have the confidence in them to drive this team forward.”

So which one is the high end defenseman again????
