Absolutely, they could give Tampa a serious run for their money for that number 1 spot in the Atlantic.

The key here though is goaltending, we don’t know what Knight will look like in a full season yet. If he is indeed the starter.
If he plays well, they will be a cup contender

Interesting question, they had a lot of players who had career years last season. Will Bennet and Weegar keep up the same play? The goaltending situation is very tricky, Bob is bad, and no ones knows how good Knight will be. This team will be fun to watch, but theyre not a contender imo, prolly a playoff team tho

Bennett a flash in the pan or legit?
Defensive performances from last season repeat?
Can Knight carry a team at a young age?

Yes to all of those and yes this team is a serious contender
