It looks like they might just keep the cap anchors that aren't worth anything (Garrison, Sbisa, Stoner, Emelin etc) and run with that as their blue line, which is not a recipe for any sort of success.
I agree. McPhee could have had a really decent blue line, with legit top 4 anchors, but I don't see that anymore. I get stocking draft picks and being bad for a couple of years, but I think they needed to exhibit more balance and actually keeping a few of the better D available.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
