Not at all.
For the next ~six years, we've got a pretty solid Top 2 in Gio & Brodie. There's a dropoff below there, but it's not really all that bleak (I'm really hopeful about Hickey BTW. I think he's our best D prospect in terms of ceiling.)
And then, when Ekblad is a seasoned guy wanting out of Florida, we reel Ekblad in, like how Vancouver got Roberto Luongo or we got Jay Bouwmeester. No need to lose Johnny Hockey.
