It's tough to apply a letter grade without seeing how the pieces fit, but I feel we downgraded at defense (Brodie > Tanev) and I'm skeptical about Markstrom moving the needle in net. At present I'd probably say C- based on that. Only time will tell. A lot of this team's success may still be dependant on internal growth from players like Bennett, Dube, Kylington, Valimaki, Andersson, Mangiapane, even guys like Gaudreau and Rittich who the fanbase has been down on lately.
