But in terms of status quo, we were second overall in the NHL this year. I think a number of players will step back next year - we had too many career years for it not to happen - but there's no reason to panic right now.
Obviously if some team with a top-end centre chooses to take a leave of its senses, you look into it. But in terms of changes, I don't see Brodie + Monahan getting us what you want, and I don't see us even contemplating it seriously. Brodie's going to go as part of something else.

By Peters' comments it sounded like his conditioning wasn't very good. Spent the season recovering from surgery so he couldn't train properly. Seems like it could explain the drop-off (as well as the discrepancy from previous playoff seasons).
