But if this team delivers, he should squarely get the credit. His fingerprints are all over this club.

We loaded up our top 6 in which they are all signed and should be productive for at least 2-3 seasons (depending when Neal and/or Backs begin to decline - if at all). We have young legitimate long-term top 6 players in Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk and Lindholm.
We got young guys in Bennet, Jankowski and Czarnik that could grow and provide more to offset the potential decline of Backs/Neal.
We also have 3 high end defensive prospects that should be ready to contribute regularly before the contracts of Stone, Brodie and Hamonic are needing renewal - not to mention a 21 year old high end defenseman we will sign in short order.
We have at least one forward spot up for grabs come training camp and I can only imagine how excited Mangiapane, Foo and Dube are and how prepared and ready to compete they will be next month.
I don't get why you are so doom and gloom. Outside of goaltending we are pretty well setup throughout the organization.
Sure we could use some other top flight forward prospects and a sure thing in net, on the way, but I'm pretty stoked about the future.
