I agree that this team doesn't have not many corner stones to build a winning team. There are some good younger players but there isn't any player that carry this team. Or may be Wolf?
Finding an franchise player is so difficult and when you may have a chance you can try it.
This years draft is deep so if you had a couple first rounders and early 2nds you may can find some good players.
And in my opinion, and when I see the cup winning teams, they usually has players who grew together as a team, as group that will play for each other.
And I don't know many teams that built by free agents and won the cup.
So we have couple younger Forwards, a young goalie. So if we had a couple of higher draft picks we could find a first line C potential player or a top pairing D or so.
If not then next years draft.
Then we may have a a couple star type players with with supporting younger players that can play together many years.
I know nowadays young players paid too much after 3 years and difficult to keep them together, but this is the way if you try to compete longer for the cup.
