Uh no .. Tampa right now does not have a "gap" with age groups .. we have no "35ers" (Group A .. aging teams like Caps and Bruins) .. 1/2 are "30ers" .. Hedmen Kuch Stamkos TJ Palat Killorn Maroon Gourde McDonough .. and 1/2 are"25ers" .. Point Vaz Cirelli Serg Colemen Goodrow Cernek
VERY enviable structure to dominate for next 10 years .. BUT we can NOT sacrifice the "25ers" for the low end of the "30ers" .. that will kill the structure.. why TJ Gourde etc. Are critical to move ASAP .. I see no way all 3 RFAs aren't resigned .. even if you have to give away 3 to 5 draft picks ..
Longer term we have few very talented "20ers" .. Foote gone, 2#1s traded etc. But that a back burner issue for 2 years after we see the Syracuse kids play THIS year
