This season, when we were healthy, I really liked our top 9 forwards, I liked our top 4 D, I even liked our goaltending. The system was very smart, and I think it played to our strengths and covered up our weaknesses (which I think we are still very soft on the puck, and in traffc).
The reality is, if we move pieces out for picks and prospects this year, and the Sedins retire or move on, we could very well take a step back next year. Those are still huge minutes to fill, and roles in the dressing room.
