Tough to predict now, but we do need some upgrades.
85 is good but is not strong on his skates, too many times easily bumped off the puck. New division he needs to get a lot stronger.
Laich not a #2 center if we lose Ribs.
Erksine not a #4 defender, but grit needed in this division.
Both tenders will have to play. Holtby needs to stop acting like he is a Greek god back (so too much of it in Hershey)there and be consistently good and know he is not the 3rd defenseman out there. Neuvy is getting paid some cash, so either play him and see what he brings to the table or trade him.
I think we got some skill, but in this division we will have to be bigger, physical and well conditioned. Ovi, Nicky, Mojo, Ward, Fehr and others can not disappear for long periods of time in this division. Lines 3 and 4 will have to be real gritty and physical each night and make teams not want o play against them to be successful. I think guys like Latta, Orlov, Mitchell, Schilling will have to be looked at hard in camp and if they can bring it every night, good. If not look for others that can.
This will be a very physical and talented division. You will need both to make the playoffs. No more of playing the Jets 10 times in one season and making the playoffs.
Ted and GMGM will actually have to make up and smell the coffee to compete.
