Our goaltending is an issue? At least we have 2 top quality goaltending prospects in the wings. Our defense is already top 2 or 3 and we have one of the top 1st lines in the league.

I don't think we're any where close to a guarantee to be contending in the next year or two but neither is Edmonton. Jesus. Give me a break.
I agree with pretty much everything you said, but the point of the list isn't contending in the next year or two. It is a window of the next 5 years, so presumably Buffalo and Edmonton are on the list because of the later years, not the next few.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
