The team has a massive weakness in the bottom 6 C positions, and just lost two of their best 5v5 producing forwards from last year in Donskoi and Saad.The top of the roster is fine, provided Newhook transitions well. The loss of Timmins hurts since EJ will 100% get injured. He’s broken. And the third line isn’t good enough, it’s a real problem. Nuke is great; Compher and Jost cannot make up 2/3rds of a third line.
They are also taking a big risk with no legitimate RHD behind EJ to cover for his inevitable injuries.
Newhook may be able to pick up some slack to replace Donskoi but this roster doesn't look capable of matching up against the Tampa's and Vegas's of the league.
