I think it's a bit silly to worry about replacing regular season production...this team can afford to score fewer goals and lose a couple more games...and it might actually set up an easier first round.
Of course by playoff time, it's hard to predict injuries, but:
Huby vs. JG = similar question marks, but changing the mix is as good as anything.
It gets a little funny with Tkachuk, but I think a higher deployment Mangi could get in the neighbourhood of what Tkachuk actually delivered in the playoffs. A settled and better conditioned Toffoli should deliver similar to Mangi last year. Maybe Pelletier or Ruzicka or Monahan can deliver the little bit Toffoli gave us?
At the end of that day I don't think it matters who is better/worse, but simply changing some key ingredients might unlock more post-season success.
