This is a valid argument for needing 3 new guys that are better than last year's top 9
Frolik- Bennett and Jankowski would likely be 4th liners on all the teams that won a first round series and on some of the teams that lost in round 1.

Moving a team with a solid defense core into the top 10-11 in goal scoring isn't a bubble team. It's a division team.
You don't go from 20th to cup contention in a season, and if you try to you get a lot of egg on your face.
One player should do that given the coaching change, a powerplay specialist, and what I would consider some likely growth.
Pick a specific assumption you don't like and I'd be happy to discuss it with you.
Your fourth liners comment is misguided.
