Adding one piece here or there to our current roster isn't going to all of a sudden turn us into a cup contender.

If we are to be legitimate cup contenders before Gio starts slowing down, the first thing we need to do is either acquire a true 1C who can drive play from the middle, or a 2C who is at a similar caliber to Monahan.
Next year this organization should see itself as trying to win the cup, as they should every year. Hence, they should be actively trying to sign Tavares. Seriously. Bring in a coach that has a better pedigree, sign Tavares for Mcdavid money, upgrade the bottom six by robbing from the D.
Win now.
Would address the alleged culture of mediocrity as well.
