If you really want to find fault with the organization, it all comes back to development. Monahan and Gaudreau are exceptional talents and burst on the scene with immediate impact. Are they progressing? Guys like Bennett, Hamilton etc. have potential but at this point, don't seem to be getting much better.

And when is the last time a call-up made an impact on this team?
Off topic, but I have to vehemently disagree with that. List of players who could get a decent or good return in a trade:

  1. Johnny
  2. Mony
  3. Bennett
  4. Backlund
  5. Tkachuk
  6. Gio
  7. Brodie
  8. Hamilton
  9. Elliot if he signs.
  10. You might throw in Jokipakka too.
