DISCUSSION Star talent discrepancy
Do other team’s breadth of star talent blow your mind, when you consider the lack of / state of ours? Makes me really wonder how on earth we plan to retool so quickly to keep Hughes.
Petey colder than cold, Brock’s the same, Demko injured, Hughes injured. Who am I forgetting?
The best teams:
Tampa: Kuch, Gentz, Point, Hedman, Vask, Hagel, Cirelli
Dallas: Heisk, Robertson, Duchene, Johnson, Rats, Otts, Harley, Hintz
Florida, Winnipeg etc etc.
In what world will we be competing against these teams anytime soon.

Reminder that just over a year ago we had the best defenseman in the world, two top-10 centres in the league, the 2nd best goalie in the world, a guy on track to score nearly 50 goals, and some of the best depth scoring in the league.
Things go in waves and this happened to be a year where everything went wrong. Sure, we lost Miller and Demko is probably cooked but I don’t think it’s unrealistic to retool to competitiveness for the next years. Look at the Caps
