Bennett will be fine. Gaudreau will still be awesome. Monahan... is what he is, which is goals and little else. But hey, goals are valuable, they're hard to come by. Meanwhile, once they lose Wideman and Engelland (which will happen at the latest this summer), the team will be in position to sign one UFA and ice the best blue line in the league. You've got a good 2nd line in 3M, all you really need at that point is a real top line RW and league average goaltending.
No, these things aren't easy to get. But the holes are pretty obvious, and as a result so is the path forward.

This, combined with the fact the team north of here is finally turning it on and just whipped us, so it's got our fans doing the competitive thing and not liking seeing them pass us as the better team for the time being. That rivalry is finally coming back, and people are comparing us to them too much and not liking what they see. It's adding an extra level of urgency and frustration.
