Gaudreau
Monahan
Ferland (resulted in Lindholm)
Tkachuk
Bennett
Jankowski
Mangiapane
Dube
Hathaway
Valimaki
Andersson
Kylington
Kulak
Rittich

have all graduated from the prospect pool in the last 6 years (and I have probably forgotten some)

That's 3 forward lines, 2 pairs of D, and a goalie. In 6 years.

The fact that the prospect pool is now substantially depleted is not a surprise, and nor should it be considered a red flag or black mark on the organization. There are few teams that can present a similar list, with respect to both quality and quantity, across the league.
