That feels like a contender. No top flight player, but sort of in the mold of the old Detoit teams. Deep, uniquely strong bench, good defense.
Throw in Bradley, Moore, Johnson, Stiemsma, 2 2012 first rounders and a 2012 second rounder and you have a bunch of 19-22 years olds backing up your 25-27 year old starters and your 35+ bench.
