Goaltending has been consistently terrible and the offence has never found any chemistry. Kadri is singular, Huberdeau looks lost, they've had zero chemistry all year.
They're as middling as middling could be.
Toffoli is having one of his best seasons ever and we could easily recoup what he acquired him for a year ago. If you retain on him it could be a sizable hall. He's been excellent this season.
Lewis is an excellent depth piece for a contender expecting a long playoff run. It's a sellers market and he could get a mid round pick, no doubt.
Retain on Lucic and a contending team is going to love his size, leadership and playoff experience.
It's the most obvious thing in the world, and we didn't need another one goal loss last night to prove that.

Imagine being a hockey person, watching this team all year and thinking “ya, we could compete with Dallas or Colorado or Vegas”.
