Add in a surprise or two, Piorier and/or Kuznetzov or another player, things can look a lot different.

There's no Mackinnon, Makar, Stamkos, Hedman, McDavid, Draisaitl, Matthews, Tkachuk, Barkov etc. in that group. That's the makings of a mediocre/poor team.
The team needs elite, franchise players drafted at the top of strong draft years - and then they need to continue to draft and develop value through their later picks (which I think they've done a good job of - but you just can't overcome the lack of top picks).
