Need top 3rd in league goaltending, if not better.
Need some young forwards to make strong pushes into both top 6 and bottom 6 roles.
Need young d prospects help offset Gio aging.
Need the core (Gio, Hamilton, Brodie, hamonic, Monahan, gaudreau, Tkachuk, Backlund?) to have the ability to lead this team, to bring another level come spring and carry team on their back.
They are positioned well, but a good portion of the teams in the league probably feel the same right about now.
