They will never unless they deal some of those young forwards. How the hell are they going to pay Eberle, RNH, Hall, Yakupov, etc.... and still have an elite goaltender and capable defence. Been saying for years: stop spending high picks on forwards. The Isles are on the right track. They've got a stellar group of young defence in the pipeline: Hamonic, De Haan, MacDonald, Reinhart, Donovan, Pulock, Mayfield. That's how you build a team.
