I don't care what anyone says for this team to stay on par with this season/get better next we need to:

Get better on faceoffs, a lot better
Get 1-2 top 6 forwards with experience and size that take shots on goal (I've mentioned a guy like Patrick Sharp before)
We need a bit more size up front

This is at the expense of Raymond and someone else. Bennett will stay up but he needs someone that can push him down to third line at least to start the season / until injury. And I don't mind Backlund but upgrading him somehow to a true second liner makes more sense.

Otherwise if we keep much of the same team I think we are going to find it hard to pull off so many miracles and comebacks. We had a lot go our way this season.

We need a couple guys to push the depth chart down a tad is all im saying. I think D and goaltending will be fine tbh.
