The players we subtracted were mostly awful to begin with and they will be replaced by young determined players with good potential to produce if given the opportunity (eg. Pelletier, Zary, Posposil, Coronato, Wolf, Poirier? Brzustewicz?) It's addition by subtraction.
Also look at resurgence of players like Kuzmenko and Sharangovich when given a bigger role.
So no, I do not think we will be awful.
