Disagree with this given the comments from players themselves on how close this team is during the bubble, and especially when those comments were unprompted and offered up by the players themselves. I'd ignore similar comments from Treliving as I don't think he would truly know.
I think the top issue with this team is the core. They've shown it over 5 years and 3 different coaches. They've been unable to execute different systems over those 5 years consistently and 'up their game' so to speak when theyre faced with adversity. For me, the core is Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Backlund, Giordano and Andersson. I wouldn't move all of them out, but I'd definitely start any changes from there.
