My point is, we didn't just completely gut this team. No when you still have Kadri, Backlund, Huberdeau, Weegar, Andersson, etc., on top of Kuzmenko, Sharky and our young guys. We're pretty far away from being god-awful.
Again, I believe it's just as difficult in this league to be top-3 and bottom-3

The only one of those players you mentioned who is a 1st liner is Weegar.
Kadri is a fine 2nd line center, although aging.
Backlund is a fine 3rd line center, but aging.
Huberdeau is somewhere between a 2nd line winger and healthy scratch level, depending which version shows up.
Anderrson is an alright 2nd line defender.
Kuzmenko is a fine pp specialist, but not a player proven to belong long term in the top 6.
Sharangovich is a good 2nd liner based on his play this year. Same with Zary. Small sample sizes for both though, hope they keep it up.
