I think we need to figure out why an entire team pulled a no show for 5 playoff games. That is more concerning than any kind of roster construction. If it was a couple of players who didn't bring their intensity level up, then I would look at roster construction, but since it was the whole team, there is something bigger at play.
Was it that they don't have the experience required, is that Peters was going I to his first playoffs as a head coach or was it that they clinched too early and didn't have to play any meaningful games for a month while Colorado had to play at a playoff level for month just to get into the playoffs.
When I look back Colorado was playing at playoff level intensity and we were still playing regular season hockey.
I think you make some tweaks to the team, but I would give this core and coaching staff another year to figure it out before I make sweeping changes.
