I feel like the Bergevin group by and large did ok finding D, but were generally poor with forwards. Caufield is our only homegrown one currently on roster, although Roy has potential. We'll see about Kapanen.
Slafkovsky, Demidov, Hage, Beck, Mesar are all really skilled. They added 2 more skill guys in Dach & Newhook. This is the deepest forward/prospects group we've had in a long, long time. Probably since the 80s. Even our best draft under Timmins, it was 3D & 1 forward (McDonagh, Subban, Weber & Pacioretty).
Maybe the Gainey era when we had Plekanec, Higgins, Ryder, Grabovsky, the Kostitsyn brothers all arriving around the same time. And had Koivu and Kovalev on the team.
