A long enough time now? Three seasons ago we didn't have a first line centre, a second line centre, we had 1 top 6 winger at best.
Since that time we have either drafted, developed or acquired: 2 top 6 centres, 2 top 6 wingers, seem to have the makings of another top 6 winger in Tkachuck.
I agree we are missing a 1st line right wing. But 3 years ago this was a burnt to ground rebuild with maybe 1 legit top 6 forward on the roster. As it sits today there are at least 4, and they are doing it the right way. Did you really think it be that easy and quick to fill out the top 6 on a complete fresh start rebuild?
