That said, they'll be a very strong team if/when they finally get all their guys back healthy. But they have to make the playoffs in the meantime or it won't matter.

And that is totally fair. But there are still 69 games left - how long can we expect them to be out?
Considering that neither Tanev nor Huberdeau has been put on LTIR, and both have been skating everyday (even if only for a bit, in Huberdeau's case), my guess is that they will both be back within a week or so.
Kylington is a different matter, of course. And his extended absence is concerning, no question about it.
