I don't see Stone or Duchene being a difference maker and I wouldn't want to pay a premium for either.
I guess bottom line if they leave my best bet for success is solidifying the bottom pairing of blue line, finding 2 quality goalies, and finding forwards who can play defensive hockey along with the offensive talent we have (and are developing). Play with speed (no slow grinders), but sound defensive hockey and hope to win a lot of 3-2 games.
I fully realize the past NHL champions score goals, but sometimes when everyone else is zigging, we may need to zag.
Re Stone & Duchene : They will be better than any forward left behind after Bread leaves with the possible exception of Cam.
