That is a very thin group and hoping a Kylington/Mackey/Poolman/Yelesin can just slide in and play full time minutes is a fools errand. Nevermind that we have no idea if Valimaki is ready for such a role yet.
Even WITH Hanifin there needs to be at least one more addition.

In my opinion, it's very hard to find real goal scorer, so off season is best time to try to get one. Especially if he is UFA.
I think this year is the year we need to try to go deep into playoffs.
We fixed G, so if we sign Hall we will be OK in F until trade deadline. And give younger D guys a little bit more ice time to see their future. And there are many veteran D's looking for jobs so sign a couple with cheap price.
Then during trade deadline make adjustment for pkayoff hockey. Find stronger C that can create some space for Johnny and Hall, find meaner D that can win battles and the cup is ours. See this is so easy��.
