Not many teams in the league could lose their number 2 centre and a second/third line winger and not have to call you some minor league guys. The depth on this team is fine.
It's just we need guys like Neal and Bennett to step up in the absence, be it offensively and defensively. This just shows how much Backlund is missed on this team. From a possession and defensive standpoint. Notwithstanding the fact he chips in offensively as well and has chemistry with Tkachuk.
