That's the catch though.
Our problem right now is we lack elite talent.
This team wants to be competitive when the doors open on a new arena but they won't be if they stay in the middle for the next couple years.
Markstrom will keep them there more then any other player on the roster.
I like what another poster said the other day.
Strong mentorship and being competitive is good for prospect development.
It's bad for prospect accumulation.
I'm of the belief that were getting the cart before the horse and we need to be focused on prospect accumulation (high end blue chip) for a season or two .
