I think when you add Backlund as the 3rd (one of the best 3rd line Cs in the league) then it is, yes.
And yes, you need more than Huberdeau to go with them. And that is why you ADD to the roster, not subtract from it.
Mangiapane, Dube, Sharangovich, Coleman, Pelletier, Coronato is not a great collection of wingers. But it isn't awful. If Sharangovich takes a step, and Pelletier and/or Coronato blossom, and they can add a solid player from a Hanifin trade, then you're really starting to get some depth and strength on the wings.
This team is no where near as far away as some fans think.
