From someone who was really down on the group for a few days in the aftermath of the Gaudreau departure and Tkachuk's announcement, I can say that this group is 100% improved and well suited to play the heavy style that Sutter demands.
The only thing remaining on my wish list would be to see Pelletier and Ruzicka both on the team and playing prominent roles on the 3rd/4th lines to start the season. This team has now become much older, and getting these younger players fully integrated early in the season will be a big boon later in the year.
