Yeah pretty much exactly this.
We had three 1st line quality players, one is already gone and we don’t have anyone in the system to fill those shoes. If we lose a 2nd, we effectively don’t have a first line anymore - that is not a team that can win anything.
You lose one of those players? Okay, it’s going to take some super human efforts from our depth to overcome that. Two? No shot. No team can overcome that.
