Do we have a Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Bennett, Lindholm, etc. in the system yet?
I think we take for granted how extremely lucky we were to obtain some of those players and how difficult it is going to be to replicate something similar unless they bottom out for a few years. Tkachuk at 6 and Gaudreau in the 4th round are very rare.

Yup that last rebuild failed despite have 2 amazing draft picks - top of the decade in JG and MT .
This also included finishing bottom 6 three times during that span (one being MT)
This is why I laugh seeing people think we are anywhere close to having the prospect base and in system stars we need with our mid and late 1sts and /2nd rounders
This team has one probable top 4 D in Parekh and top 6 forward in Cornato right now . If one other prospect can turn into a top 4 D and 2 top 6 forward (contender type top 6 not fringe playoffs ) we are still missing a number 1/2D , and an entire first line
This team is three bottom 5 finishes / lottery luck from properly rebuilding.
And I believe last year was suppose to be the first of those 3 years and the team screwed up the plan
