There problems are with their depth and their supposed amazing 3rd line, best in the West possibly according to you, combined for 32 goals last year. Their 4th line will be, as always, a wasteland of whoever sits on the bench for 90% of the game. Their defense got worse, and it was already a weak spot. Who's their 2nd pairing? Where would you rank that in the West?
Arvidsson is a gust of wind away from another injury. Missing nearly a season with a back injury, coming back for 16 games and then missing the remainder with another injury.
And none of these players are getting any younger.

Common he nearly was a PPG when he came back.
Let’s wait to see what he has to say about his teams defence.
