If you're icing a young and hungry roster I don't think it would be boring and would be a much easier sell. Watching overpaid vets underachieve really has no selling point. It also has no hope. Throw a couple of top 5 picks on the ice with the prospects you have now and accumulate over the next couple of years, and I think that starts to look a lot more intriguing. At some point, you have to take a few steps back to take a leap forward. In an intelligent hockey market like Calgary, I think if the organization openly expressed that type of plan, it would be a breath of fresh air, and well recieved.
