Rittich is replaced by Markström.
Overall 7 new guys out of 20, or a 35% turnover, mostly in defense and goal. Can't disagree with that, considering I thought last season that it was our defense that was in biggest need of upgrades.
Gonna be weird without Brodie :/

Dube >> Frolik
Leivo >> Jankowski
Simon > Czarnik
Ryan = Ryan/Nordstrom
Tanev < Brodie
Valimaki >> Hamonic
Nesterov > Kylington
Markstrom >> Rittich
I would also add that Gaudreau and Monahan had awful seasons last year, and there is plenty of room for them to be better this year.
Also:
2021 Andersson > 2020 Andersson
2021 Mangiapane > 2020 Mangiapane
2021 Hanifin > 2020 Hanifin (hopefully)
Our forwards are better, our D is better, and our goaltending is much better
