We were even dominated by the Canucks by more then half game most of the games in that series. You can't stay status quo.

If if the roster stayed relatively close to the same it still wouldn't be the same. A full year out of players like Bennett and Ferland will make a difference. I have no problem making moves to upgrade, I just have an issue taking on a monster contract like Kessel's today when it isn't necessary. There will be top line players available in 3 years or so when this team will be closer to a contender. I'd rather see them take on lower risk contracts for now.
