Add a stud froward through the 2016 draft, shore up the defensive depth a bit (preferably with guys that are already in the system) and figure out a long term solution in net. That's what I really care about moving forward.
The future is still pretty bright.

Yep. Realistically a few years back when they sold off Iginla and Bouwmeester looking forward this year's team is about where we should have expected them to be at this stage. Last season was nice and a great experience for the players but this season is kind of a reality check in that the roster isn't complete and there's still some big holes to fill. Still exciting times are on the horizon as they just need to keep adding quality pieces through the draft and getting that high pick ensures a better chance of getting another Monahan/Bennett type player for this franchise.
