I'm not too worried about the forwards (barring injuries of course) because I firmly believe Timo and Mercer are going to have good years. Combine that with Jack, Nico, and Bratt and if Tatar can find some of the old magic he had the top 6 should be okay. Or at least good enough to where Fitz can add a rental or maybe somebody longer term around the trade deadline. A healthy Dougie and Luke and Nemec with some experience under their belts should help the offense too.I like the current "depth", though we are probably lacking a true 4th line center. The big issue now seems to be lacking a top 6 winger. I think Mercer could prove to be that, that's not too far fetched. Maybe Grits does too, but that would be tough to rely on.
Plus, with the defense and goaltending being improved we shouldn't have score 3+ goals every night to win.
