There's no "real plan". Brad has had a very distinct plan in building a contender since he got here. If his actual plan was for Gillies or Parsons to become an strong/elite #1 NHL goalie and THEN we're a contender then he'd be foolish, which he isn't.
He gave up assets to acquire Mike Smith at the same time as he was giving up other assets to start going all in on this club. He believes Mike Smith is a Cup caliber goalie and believes the team's time is starting now.
To think he believes the team's time is when/if a goalie prospect turns to gold is silly, imo. The chances of one of our prospects being better than Mike Smith is now is really low. That's the nature of goalie prospects.
