Bottom line is teams who missed playoffs last season will be better this year, and if we stand pat with the current roster, we won't be making the playoffs. Our D, 4th line, and Tuukka are solid but sorry to say, the top 9 we currently will be forced to roll out are simply not good enough.
Beside the fact that they have one of the best 1st line in the league (Marchand-Bergy-Pasta), one of the best 2nd line C (Krejci) and good supporting players in Backes and Spooner?
5/9 of the top 9 is elite to good. Can always be better and improved. But how is that not a good enough top-9?
