Edvinsson and Kasper look good, but far from can’t miss prospects.
The team has been carried by Larkin, Kubalik, Perron, and Hronek this season.
Hard to believe they haven’t made the playoffs in 7 seasons and to my eyes don’t have a lot to show for it

Raymond and Seider might have gone through a bit of a sophomore slump, but they are young core pieces for sure. As for Cossa, it's way too early to judge that. Wallstedt looks far superior for sure, but Cossa is 20 ... time is on his side.
Yzerman sold high on Hronek and fans wanted him to ship out Bertuzzi too. If they continue to build patiently through the draft, I have no doubt they'll be really good in a few years.
