He does not mention Jankowski, but fair enough, Jankowski hasn't done anything yet.
I'd like to see what peoples' objections are to the actual points he makes in the article. Basically he sees the problems as,
1. forward quality past Johnny / Mony and the 3M line;
2. the potential for the goaltending to be mediocre again; and
3. overall goal scoring.
Those are also what I would say the team's challenges are, to be answered this season and going forward for the next two to three years. I would also agree with him that you can only count on a couple more truly strong years from Gio; anything more is possible but optimistic, so it makes sense to take a shot while he's still under 35. I don't think this piece is that far off, overall.
