I still can't believe Dupuis has lasted thing long in Pittsburgh, even over James Neal. Heck, I can't believe Kunitz survived over Neal, regardless of whom he plays with. James Neal in my mind is simply better then both guys.

talentwise, sure.

but there are definitely variables other than that at play.

Yeah I've given up on this whole concept of backreading

Not only do I not have the attention span, but if I do pay attention for a few pages on end, I just get enraged

Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds, Luke Schenn, Brayden Schenn, Sean Couturier, Matt Read, Jake Voracek and Steve Mason. These in my mind are our young core and I wouldn't part with any of them. Not unless we're getting a serious upgrade in return. From the looks of things, Scott Laughton might soon be added to this list.

My point is, the only thing I truly want is to add more players between the ages of 22 and 26. Players that might be family with our current group who might fit in. Players that might need a change of scenery or a work in progress. I also thought that this might be asking a lot but with names like Jamie McBain out there and Michael Del Zotto, maybe it isn't.

I might not like the long route Ron Hextal has chosen to take but I can't argue that a Cup couldn't possibly be out of reach. We still need a pure shooter to play with Giroux and a legit number 1 defenseman though.

to get that, via the parameters you outlined, is going to cost you a few guys from your list.

CG, WS, LS, BS, SC, MR, JV, SM are all really solid young players. Agreed. The future looks bright, and when you factor in guys like SL, and even SG, SM, and MA, the pipeline doesn't look as bleak. Forwards are a little different. Our best forward prospect (I'm not counting JA right now) is probably NC

As far as the defense, I for one have no interest in MZ. I really don't want the Flyers to sign him and have him flop, only to be added to the list of relatively overpaid defensemen on the back end. Just stand pat there. I hope RH just sits back and watches other teams overpay for CE, MN, MZ, etc.

I do have an interest in CE, but all signs point to his terms being ludicrous. No thanks.
