Ahh, CSW, a lot of Canuck fans thought the same when they ran to the finals a few years ago. But guys will struggle. Guys will have less puck luck. Guys will see roles change. Guys age (Gio will be 32 at the start of next year). Guys will get hurt. Assuming everyone on career years stays flat as your worst case scenario is a recipe for disappointment. Some players will step back. That is inevitable. We just need more players to step forward.
The key players to me are Monahan and Gaudreau. If we can count on 50 goals between those two year over year, we are laughing.
