I don't know if I would say dramatically weaker, but they definitely need another top 6 player. And they have the ability to add one.
The defense has been improved, now they need to add to the forward group. I am not saying it has to be Kadri, but they need to add someone. And if it means having to move Lucic to do it, so be it.
But I believe that if they can add one more top 6 forward (top line RW or 2nd line C), that this team might be better than last year.
