Still need a good team, but you need your bottom players to be better (too players will always do their thing)

My concern is the other players outside of Stuztle.
Are Norris or Batherson or Tkachuk truly elite guys? I think they're a player short.
Compare them to a team like New Jersey that have two elite guys in Bratt and Hughes, a very high end 2C in Hischier, and some nice complementary young guys like McLeod, Sharangovich and Mercer. And they're even better because they still have guys like Nemec and Luke Hughes in the pipeline.
For a team exiting a rebuild, the prospect pool in Ottawa is not good. I don't see any high end pieces that can come in and supplement the current roster.
