Let's wait and see how they manage to acquire 2 dmen and contender-worthy goalie from their surplus of forwards before we declare their problems fixed. Cap team with many holes to fill that didn't really include center. Considering MacT didn't want to trade any of his "core", let's see what magic he can do. I don't see an Islanders approach as possible given their cap situation.
Seems to me that they might just become similar to the current version of the Pens having missed the window that saw the Pens win in 2008-9 when they had Malkin and Crosby on cheap contracts.
