Not necessarily. There are 2-3 guys I could see becoming top players: Parekh, Reschny, and Gridin. They all have the pedigree and have shown well at every lower level. Give it a year or two and you might have a very good team again. Add one more really good winger in free agency and you might have a perennial playoff team. That's not even considering all the other solid prospects we have in our system that could help to fill out our roster.
Of course, things never turn out the way you predict, but that goes both ways, both negative and positive. There may be another diamond in the rough that we haven't even considered as part of the puzzle yet (Wyttenbach would be one that's shown well this year out of nowhere).
