Hamilton, Franson, plus the young guys developing seem like a massive improvement.

Young guys developing is always nice, but cannot be relied upon. Certainly not several young guys who have never been NHL regulars.
We always seem to be high on prospects because we don't know them well yet. We know our veterans well, and we know their flaws. Just because we don't know a prospects' limitations doesn't mean that the unknown is better than a known. Scouting and coaching staff are some of the only people with enough knowledge to make substantiated claims on that topic, which they will need to do in training camp.
