Still think this team can easily implode and get a top ten pick next year.
The only thing keeping us from imploding this retool is if that cap space is used recklessly in the summer on a free agent. This is why I hope Conroy is turned down on every door he knocks on.

I do think it implodes, like YYJ said about San Jose maybe it goes down that road.

I know people cite Wolf's age but that isn't an issue goalie can play a long time. I look at it like Chicago when they got Toews and Kane. They already had pieces big ones that contributed to the cup runs. If we pick top 3 those players usually are instantly in the NHL and make an immediate impact.

If you can hit those picks, and already have young players on the roster like Parekh and Wolf and hopefully a few more guys including Zary and Coronato you can go free agent shopping add to the roster and off you go. Maybe Hubderdeau is our version of Hossa a much older one but who knows.
