Brad Treliving also stated that there will be a lot of young players pushing for roster spots up front, which is why the team focused primarily on defense and goaltending during the off-season. They did lose
Tyler Bertuzzi and haven't brought in anyone to replace him yet. There is also the Nick Robertson situation who has requested a trade from the team, so Treliving will be busy dealing with that no doubt. He will also have to deal with the
Jani Hakanpaa situation who signed a two-year contract but has failed a physical due to an injury.
