smithers joe

we have those players, pettersson, dahlin, gaudette, lind, gadjovich, juolevi, virtanen and goldobin. they just aren't ready for prime time yet. we are rebuilding through the draft. it does take time. 

I agree Joe.  We do have young guys comin, who bring hope for a better future.  

Just so you know we have Dahlen, not Dahlin (hopefully soon haha). Although I agree with you Joe about our quality prospects we don't have enough yet (especially of high quality) to be cup contenders. As I see it we need a top pairing RD defender and a top LW scorer. To get these types of guys you need to give up to get. I love winning but if losing and trading for another year or two gives us a really good chance at a cup then Ill take that over winning right now.
