We didn't have clear cut #1 goaltending last season either, and ended up winning 45 games.
We didn't have a clear cut top line RW last season either, and ended up winning 45 games.
We didn't have a clear cut #4 D-man last year either until late Jan, and ended up winning 45 games.
I the next 3 weeks we will have a goalie tandem just as capable of being as "average" as last years goalies were (the ones that combined for 45 wins despite being average, or slightly below average), maybe even better than average. We will also probably have Stone re-signed, and if it isn't Stone, it will be because Tre got someone even better than Stone somehow.
We don't NEED to get out of any contracts, we can afford all the things we need without ditching any contracts.
The core is young, and should improve for the most part, especially without a slow start for Mony/Johnny, a good #4 Dman from the get go and not having to learn an entirely different system from scratch.
No need to be panicky.
