I realistically see less change coming this summer than last with more tweaks to add some size and grit. Guys like Brodie, Frolik won’t be back but it would be shocking to see one of the fab 5 this year moved let alone 3.

If you can pull off a Vegas and build a new 2nd line (Pacioretty - Stastny - Stone) that performs as the number one line then keep Gaudreau and Monahan. They'll get better line matchups and maybe put up better playoff performance without the pressure to carry the offense. Otherwise this team is never going on a deep run where they're your only top players that you need to rely on.
Gio probably won't be the true number one anymore come time for this team to be true cup contenders.
Never said these 3 would be moved this year or ever, but IMO they should be to build a better team.
