We will go into this season with a better team than we went into last season with. We will need to make some moves to get to where we want to be for the playoffs. I think Shero was either going to go really big with Parise/Suter or play it safe due to the CBA questions. If the cap goes down we will be sitting pretty. If it doesn't, we will still be one of the top teams in the east.

As far as not filling out the top 6 with legit top 6 wingers, I don't know how any of you expected that to happen immediately after moving Staal. It is unreasonable to think we can completely redesign the team in one off-season. We aren't the only team who wants top 6 wings. They aren't readily available. We can't just pick them up whenever we need them. We currently have arguably the best top 6 in the league as is. We have the two best players in the world at center, we have one of the best goal scorers on one wing and a really good complimentary winger on another. We have a prospect who could become a good complimentary guy and we have a jack of all trades who can fill in admirably while we find an upgrade.
