Everyone knows the core needs a shake up and it's yet to happen. It's been a long time coming.

In order to keep Johnny you're going to have to pay big money and I'm definitely concerned if he is worth that money. I don't see him as an elite forward that can carry a team. Due to his size I feel he is much easier to shut down in the playoffs. Those seem like real and legit concerns.

Tkachuk is another guy who is a secondary player in my eyes. Can we afford to give him a huge contract? If Tkachuk is in the 50-60 pts range and we're paying 9 million he better be bringing a ton of intangibles.

And Monahan is always hurt and he is soft. He's not a number 1 centre.

These 3 are going to be the ones leading your team? That is NOT an elite core. These seem like very legitimate concerns.
