Forward depth isn't the worst thing, I suppose.

in the 2011-2012 season, if you take our bottom 6 forwards (cooke, staal, tk, adams, asham, park) and extrapolate all of their individual points out to 82 games, they end up with: 209 total points
if you take the 2012-2013 numbers for sutter, 2 out of 3 of jeffery/kobasew/d'agostini (they're all pretty similar), adams, glass and vitale and extrapolate all of their individual points out to 82 games, they end up with: 103 total points
that's an unbelievable drop - even considering that we HAD to let staal go.

Of course, this can be refuted by simply referencing the Boston series.

You'll never get over this staal thing
