If we're going to point to scenarios where we lose a defensman to injury on a solid defensive group than it must follow that we also do the same for an injury or two on forward?
Lose Huberdeau/Kadri/Lindholm to injury and you could make the same "omg, look what our top 6 looks like minus a star player" scenario.

Stone and Mackey? How is that not an objectively terrible bottom pair?
Stone has played a grand total of 36 games over the past 3 seasons and Mackey has total of 9 NHL games to his name.
These guys are tweeners because they can come play a game here or there in a pinch. If they are consistently playing they will be exposed.
