A line loses its top two producers, what is the impact going to be? Significant, and is not in the favor of the player left behind.

This is an easy bet to make and you will be technically "right", but for all the wrong reasons. Congratulations.
Lindholm will almost certainly have worse line-mates than both Gaudreau and Tkachuk next season.
