This is essentially the same team that just got bounced in the 1st round in 5 games, and you don’t even have enough cap space for a full roster so I’d say no.

I would do that for the Pens, but that's just me. We've needed a Jeannot type for years. Hopefully we bring in a new coaching staff that values physicality a little bit.

You can totally compete, but not sure if you can win it all unless everyone stays healthy and everything goes just right. Id say 5th in the East, knocks off the Leafs in 1st round of playoffs, and then gets bounced.

Doubtful. Tampa was a cap era dynasty, but like all cap era dynasties, they are fading. Playoffs is achievable, but the depth that made them great is likely not returning without a rebuild.

So, you think Vasilevskiy missed over 20 games to start the season, TB puts in a new defensive system they struggle with early vadly , Sergachev missed a boat load of time and breaks his leg the very game he comes back. TB was in everyone of those games. Trolling

it's hard to say that when they lost a top 4 defenseman and didn't try to replace him.

This team is young enough talent wise to still compete. Just not with those signings above.

Make the playoffs again? Sure, this roster is good enough. Make a deep run for a Cup? Not unless Vasy stands on his head in goal.
