Hi, I started a thread on the exact same subject a couple of weeks ago when the article came out. To me, it speaks volumes that, of all the teams in the NHL, the Habs are the only team that have zero of the 12 aforementioned pieces. Put differently, even if the 5 top prospects on the organisation (Wright/Slaf/Cooley, Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle, maybe Romanov?) reach their potential, the team would still be 7 pieces away from reaching contenders status. That is to say, Habs should embrace the tank; they're not 2 or 3 players away from being championship material, and as you've pointed out, elite pieces are added through the draft.
