They are unlikely to pass four teams and play at a 102 point pace the rest of the way, yes.
They are more likely to be a worse team without their top pairing and top center.
If they didn't trade said players I would agree with you 100%. Assuming they do, though, not sure how anyone could suggest they won't be worse off with three of their best say 8 players gone.
