If they were to get a better bottom six yes

I think even just a better fourth line other than Kasty

5th in the atlantic

Who knows. Atlantic could be a bloodbath next season - Tampa and Boston seem to have gotten worse. Leafs may have gotten better assuming the Nylander deal is resolved. Buffalo exponentially improving, Ottawa + Detroit from the outside looking in and improving. Florida coming off the Eastern Conference win. Habs with some decent players but not yet in the mix. It'll be close next year

That 4th line is very bad but that top-9 could be good enough to make up for it. But that's assuming they get Berggren and Tarasenko

Take out Berggren and add Fabbri or Kubalik
