On top of that, take a look at this roster. it is far from perfect.
Backlund and Frolik are not good enough offensively to be second line players.
Monahan is very valuable, however he is not an elite number 1 center. He needs to be better defensively.
Gaudreau, while extremely skilled tends to fade into the background as games get tighter.
Valimaki has been injured all season.
To Treliving's credit he has attempted to get pieces for this team (Kadri, Zucker, Stone) but they haven't worked out.

I respectively disagree with you on not blaming Peters on this team’s decline. He has not had control of this team since the All Star break. The players look unmotivated and they have no leadership. Peters is directly responsible for maintaining effective leadership when it comes to coaches and players. He’s been ineffective with both for far too long. Leadership is the main thing any ‘coach’ is responsible for. It’s what he’s paid to do. In a nutshell, Peters is an ineffective leader and he’s been that way for a long time. Sh$t trickles down hill.
