Way to many ifs right now and until Okposo,Franz,Bailey, Grabner play a consistent 82 games they will be huge question marks and can not and should not be relied upon. Franz is included on this list due to his offense not his d.

Wideman had 46 points this year and Garrison has 21 goals in the last two seasons. These aren't household names but MUST be targeted by Garth on day one to bring in. As for all the "IF" factors, I can see where you are coming from, but sadly there are no other options. Garth has invested in these players, the contracts he has given out has symbolized that. Plus, don't forget we have a very young team.
Look at the average age for some teams' top 6 fowards
NYR: 27
DET: 31.5
BOS: 24.3
CHI: 26
STL: 26.7
PHI: 28.7
Isles: 25
