I would build around Markstrom while I could. I think Tanev is a top flight defensive D man. Valimaki could be great. And I think then they have a large number of complementary players. I think Treliving figured he had no elite players after Bennett didn’t pan out, so he’d try to get at least two very good lines based on Lindholm-Tkachuk and Monahan-Gaudreau and a decent supporting cast. It hasn’t worked out very well. A team like that has to have a lot of drive and this one doesn’t.
I’m fine with a new GM and a new coach. Boston did very well with skaters who are high end but not superstars, unless you say Bergeron is a superstar two way player.
