The big question is how will they perform in the playoffs. With the moves they made I can’t see them not being a playoff team. But can they take another step.

They got run out of the building in the Colorado series and the Edmonton series when they abandoned their game plan due to what the other team was doing (MacKinnon/McDavid going off).
Do the changes to the roster make that less likely?
Was Tkachuk and Gaudreau the most responsible for that? Least? Part of the problem? Two of the few that weren't part of the problem?
The team has different personnel, but additionally two key players that will play a huge role in managing top talent against. They seem better built for that type of playoff series.
