Since their cup run, they’ve really missed what Kadri, Landeskog and Nichuschkin brought to the team. Landeskog and Nichushkin should return at some point this season though. They are still a powerhouse.

As others brought up… it’s probably a moot point because they have brought in Moddlestst and they have to plan for re-signing Rantanen this summer.
Don't worry about it- yes, the Avs are in need of a goalie, and yes- they may be cap constrained, but I think they would LOVE help at every position, especially with the injury to an important player in Lehkonen, and the situation with Nichushkin. They have Mittlestadt, but he can't replace what Kadri brought to that team, and Drouin sure as hell can't either.

Plus, they gave up Byram to get Mittlestadt, and Girard has had his issues. If they want another cup run, they may have to make some tweaks.
