I don't think Columbus' prospect pool is as dire as it's made out to be.
For starters a lot of your best prospects have recently graduated onto the roster, including players like Elvis, Peeke, Gavrikov, and Texier. It's not a bad starting point.
You're set in goal with two good young goalies (Elvis/Korpisalo).
On defense you've got some excellent young guys on the roster, supported by Gavrikov, Nutivara, and Peeke.
You're probably a bit short of high-end talent up front, but Marchenko is quite underrated and may be the best Russian prospect outside of the NHL. With your 1st this year you should get a very good forward as well.
The key for Columbus will be to be competitive enough in the next 2 years for Jones to want to stick around in 2022.
