They might be ok though. They have some prospects on the farm like Pacquette and Connoly that could make the jump. If they sign a UFA dman or top 6 forward they really just need to plug some holes on the 4th line and with a 5-6 dman. They could also sign a cheap veteran back-up until Gudlevskis is deemed ready. He looked good in the limited time he saw and at the Olympics. It's tight but not impossible.
