Tom Gilbert and Devin Setoguchi appear to be bigger losses. Tom Gilbert wasn't great, but the defense was thin, and his only replacement in the top-4 are a bunch of question marks like Ballard, Scandella, or Dumba. Gilbert's the kind of puck-moving defensemen Chuck Fletcher always wants more of, and he very likely was screwed by Dany Heatley's injury. Devin Setoguchi, like Gilbert, was inconsistent. But when he was on? Wow. He helped carry our offense through March, scoring 17 points in 17 games from February 26th through the end of March. However, the other 30 games counted, and he scored only 10 points in those games. Unless he's going to be good Setoguchi all year, he's ultimately expendable.
What do you think, Wilderness? Did the Wild lose all that much in the offseason?
