Disagree. Jankowski has exciting potential. We're extremely deep in blue liners which some may not find exciting but the depth there is tremendous with Andersson, Kylington, Hickey, Wotherspoon, Kulak, etc. Shinkaruk and Poirier both still have some promise. Besides Gillies we also have highly touted goalies in Mason McDonald and Tyler Parsons. Plenty of other significant depth that I haven't even touched on.

Our depth now is still much greater than it was for most of the past 20 years. You seem to have taken an ultra pessimistic stance or perhaps you're just not well informed about these prospects? I dunno.
