No D that is a top pairing D, no top line forwards, probably no proven #1 goalie.

No second line C.

All of the above voids are in reference to a contending team.

Next season they will need to play as a team. 5 on D when the other team has the puck, 5. on offence when they have the puck. 5 tenacious and smart players when neither has the puck.

Balance. Not much cohesion or tenacity on D or when the puck was up for grabs.I blame a good portion of these problems on the core.
