I dunno about big change. IMO they have a very complete lineup, maybe the most complete in the NHL. They've also made it to the conference finals, for 3 years in a row. They just need that extra little something that can push them over the edge. A player that did what Sam Bennett did for Florida (not actual Sam Bennett, who would cost them $10+ million).
My guess is that they think Rantanen, with a little more time to adjust, can be the difference maker. They also had some bad luck this year with Heskainen and Robertson being injured. Both players did end up playing portions of the playoffs, but the team looks disjointed when they came back.
