This year? No.
But it is starting to come together and then need to really start thinking about how supplement the core with the right additional pieces to put them over the edge to be a true contender.
Key components for me are:
- #1 goalie. Is it Moose for the next 2-3 years or someone else?
- Sam needs to take a big step, either as a centre or winger
- Continued development of Tkachuk.
- Need one or two of the young dmen in the system to turn out. The good news is there are plenty of bullets in the chamber - between Kylington, Andrsson, Hickey, Fox, etc - it feels like there is a good chance.
- Re-signing Stone. The teams turnaround and his arrival are not coincidental.
