I don't think that roster is better. I think Kostin will be missed, and the bottom 6 is weaker than last year. Yes, Eklund helps the D, but it is still thin at the bottom. And most importantly, they have even less overall depth than last year. They are probably starting with 12 forwards - maybe even 11 - on the roster. Any kind of injuries, and they are in big trouble, because there is -literally - no bench.
