So yes, we did get some great performances from rookies. But we still do not have any prospects that project as a 1st liner at forward. That is a significant problem with a retool, we have nothing to retool around. We do not have a 1st liner on the roster.
Wolf is incredible and I think one of the top goalies in the league if he keeps it up. But goalies can only do so much. Carey Price was the closest one recently to carrying his team to the cup, but even he couldn't do it. And goalies are extremely volatile as we see with Hellebuyck in the playoffs.

That’s why I think they eventually will be going to the free agency pool to fill in first line gaps.
