This team is a contender if not one of the favorites. Kotkaniemi has proven he's a capable 2C. That D core is hands down the best in the NHL. Down the wings, they're among the best of the league. It's simple. Get to the playoffs. We're missing maybe a top 9 RW to play opposite Teravainen on the 3rd line (assuming Staal is the 4th like last year). Could argue they need a 3C instead of Drury, but with Jarvis, Kotkaniemi, Necas, and Svechnikov all looking like they could make big steps (Svechnikov is healthy right now by the way, he could play today) this roster is terrifying.
