Fwds: some decent defensive forwards, but unless Benn really bounces back and has a year like he was able to several seasons ago, this team may not see a 50 point scorer. Now, in Dallas, they are also a very low scoring team and still have success, so that is not a death knell. But Dallas' complementary forward crop is much stronger than this. The forwards are definitely bottom 8 in the league.
Defence: Pretty great, top 5 I think
Goaltending: top 5 in the league if Rinne has a decent 25 game. At least top 10.
Overall, probably pushing for a wildcard. If Benn keeps regressing, no playoffs. Just not enough goals, despite the great defensive end of things.
