Yes, there are some pieces on the farm potential stars like Gillies and role players and tweeners like Grandlund, Poirier, Klimchuk. The 1st round pick this year, especially if we continue to play poorly, will be just as an important pick as Bennett was.
Hopefully we can turn two of Hudler, Russel and Wideman into several top 60 picks.

I agree with you assessment of the farm and our upcoming 1st rounder.
I disagree with this notion that "we're rebuilding" somehow excuses the massive step back we've seen. Gaudreau and Bennett are the only ones who improved from last year. That's worrying.
