How long do you think it will take until we are competing with Colorado and Vegas for supremecy in the west?

 

We still have an elite goalie, Centre, and D. Depth isn't greatest. But it can be worked on. 

 

Vegas has decisions to make in net. Avs are in a cap crunch and injuries are taking a toll.

You dont win with 3 players.  You win with several elite players. 

Also, Demko is hardly elite, and Hughes isnt the prototypical #1 dman you need to win in this league. 

The fanbase here keeps convincing themselves that we have a group of players that are better than they actually are. 

Look at Vegas's depth up front in 2way players, and insane depth on D with Petro, Theodore, Whitecloud, Hague and McNabb.  We arent even close. 

We need to toss out a few of our 1 dimensional players and build a team of hard to play against 2 way forwards and dmen.  Until that happens we are just pretenders.

You are wrong. Demko, Hughes, Petey, Hronek, and Miller are all elite.

There is no path that brings us close to Vegas and Colorado.

Not right now at least. We'll see what the team looks like on opening night, but for now.. There is no visible path to contender.

With the the right moves by management, better player development (which appears to be in place), I could see us becoming a contender in 3-4 years.  Petey and Quinn in their late 20’s with their man strength, 2-3 of our prospects reaching their potential, and Silovs challenging for starter.
