In what universe are Chytil and Kravstov not considered potential high end talent?

Yeah its one thing if you're talking about sure shot first line/top pairing talent. I don't think many people have that to begin with.
Those guys with out a doubt have the potential to be that though. After they suffer through another season they'll have a great shot at adding another.

Very happy the club haven't overpaid for any of the big UFA's so far.
One name I fear. James Neal. Don't do it Gorts. Step away from the checkbook and remind yourself of the rebuild. Less will be more here.

Very few prospects are of that McDavid/Dahlin caliber where you just KNOW they will be great. Bitching because we don't have that is just bitching for the sake of it. The Rangers prospect pool not only has depth, but it certainly has some high-end players potentially long-term.

Babcock said he's thinking of these lines to start:
Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner

Neal would honestly be fine if the term wasn't more than 3 years or so.
Lmaooo.
Thats so silly. BUT WAIT THERES MORE!
Their 3rd line is going to be centered by back to back 30 goal season scoring Nazem Kadri!
If they get a legitimate #1 D they're the beasts of the East.

Agreed, though there are still some names out there. I can't see James Neal, makes no sense for either party. I think he lands in San Jose.
That would be a fantastic landing spot for him.
I'm still hoping he goes to the Isles. 7 for 43, make it happen Lou!

Today was a bloodbath of horrible contracts. Was very enjoyable watching from the outside.

None of us know that, but we'll just assume it while we count our post-rebuild Cups and #TrustTheProcess
It is top 5-10, but it still lacks gamebreaking potential elite players. It's like when the Wild had a ridiculous pool with Brodin, Granlund, Coyle, Zucker, etc. Great talent, but still lacking the final core pieces.

You are not wrong. I think of it almost like a cheap scratch off ticket with an infinitesimal chance at a huge payout. For a buck, why not roll the dice? If he had even a hint of an attitude problem, I'd say to stay far away, but by all accounts he's a great teammate. If he's not blocking anyone, it can't hurt to bring him in for a year or two. It's not like the team is going anywhere this year as it is.
No one has said this, ever.
It's going to give us a better chance at winning than doing what we were doing before though, thats for sure.
Understood, but it isn't overrated, it's correctly rated

That doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.
This place has been like a Stanley Cup parade this summer.
