if grubauer's as bad as he was last year, for sure no. i think probably still no regardless but it's within the realm of possibility if grubauer gives you league average goaltending

All depends on beniers and wright, how quick they can get rolling, the rest of the squad doesn’t have many holes, big need is 1a/1b centers and klingberg

Beniers and Wright will have growing pains. Gru needs to be a LOT better. Klingberg will help the offense but is not much on defense. The Pacific is very chaotic right now so anything is possible.

Not this season, even in the Pathetic Division. It's too much to ask for both Wright and Beniers to get going in their rookie years. But they'll be breathing down the Ducks' necks and in 2023-2024 they'll start to make a real impression. Of course, that's IF they land Klingberg, and Grubauer returns to the mean.

They’ll give it a run but I think they come up short. Wright probably isn’t ready for a full season yet and Beniers as their top centre this season seems unlikely. I’d expect McCann on that top line centring it.
