They'll be a force once they land a top-pairing 2-way guy on the blueline to round out Smid, Petry, Schultz, and Klefbom. Until then, I expect they'll be the perennial bubble squad alternating between 1st round disappointments as a low seed or marginally missing the postseason.
Kinda like Nashville all these years. Just my take.
