The biggest question mark for me is goaltending. Will Markstrom be .920 or .890 Markstrom? And if he sucks again, is Wolf able to bring what he brings to the NHL level?

Personally, some tweaks to the roster, inject some youth to the forward core, hire a good coach and I won't be surprised to see this team back to 100+ points next season.
It's more complicated than just not selling. Backlund, Lindholm, Toffoli, Hanifin, Tanev, and Zadorov are UFA at end of next year.

Next season needs to be cooked and all about roster assembly going forward.
