They need an elite centre and another elite winger.
Maybe, at some point, people will soon realize that the rebuild didnt start this past February...it started 2 years ago. We're starting to see the results of that now and its fun.

Gridin, yes, he's starting to show signs of becoming a very dangerous player. I'll grant you that.
But the rest of our under 23 players are still very early in their development. To suggest that we're starting to emerge from the rebuild is silly.
Tampa was on the 2nd half of a back to back and playing their backup goalie. Context matters.
