I don't know why, but this influx of forwards coming into camp makes me feel like something is wrong.

Clowe's health is what really stands out at this point.

Anyone that's played sports understands the need for competition at all levels.

It's a good thing. It helps create the proper culture, if nothing else.

It does and I understand but what bothers me is the way that things have be prioritized things

In other words you'd rather if they brought in some more top 6 caliber forwards and let things trickle down?

That's fair enough.

It may just be a little easier said than done sometimes. If a guy thinks he's a top 6 forward he probably wouldn't want to sign here after taking one look at the depth.

One Finals appearance with Parise & Kovy. And we don't have any players close to this caliber.

The years around the Cup Finals have been horrid. No playoffs.

Long term success, yes. Recent success...i guess if 2012 with players no longer on the roster has that much weight to it, then sure he's been successful recently...
