I think you are looking at it wrong. Its not hard to keep Matthews, Marner and Nylander. Its hard to keep all of the depth. Which isn't a huge issue when you have guys like Kadri, Andersen and Rielly locked up for the next while.
If you lose some depth wingers like Brown or Johnson and have to bring up a Marlie or two, that isn't really a problem. Connor Brown isn't the reason this team wins the cup, Nylander, Marner, Matthews and Tavares will carry the team wherever it goes.
