Also Hamilton not fitting in here really screwed us on having a 1D but Treliving got a solid return of younger core players for him at least
If in 2019 this team has:
1. Demko breaking in
2. Healthy Monahan
3. Stud 1C Bennett
4. Fox in the system
5. Dobson in the system
6. Tkachuk and Gaudreau
7. Lindholm and Hanifin (and no Fox was not pivotal in acquiring these two IMO)
We probably have a lot more than two playoff series wins (plus one play in round win)

Even if we take out Fox, wow that is a nice core. The biggest miss imo is smith and hickey over Point. 2 chances at him after the first round and we didn’t even bother. That to me would’ve been franchise altering, then there’s less pressure on Bennett to be a 1C.
