Their LWers are still better than ours, especially if Michalek can find his scoring touch again. They lost Spezza and some others, but this has been a younger building team for awhile now and will still be competitive. Won't finish bottom 5 for sure this year, but also probably won't make the playoffs.

Agreed. The Turris-MacArthur line carried Ottawa last year. They won't miss Spezza as much as people think. The real issue was coaching, which went from great two seasons ago, to real bad last season.
