Good starts like last year (scoring first and establishing tempo)
The changes in net (expectations, backup, contracts, coach)
Special teams
Health
Those are my top 4 things to watch next year. I don't think the other concerns will last all year.
They have enough prospects far enough in development to switch out kids that struggle. Seabrook, Bolland, and Keith had very forgettable years, so a few bad seasons from skaters won't kill this team. 4 years of playing without a legitimate 2c keeps me from being concerned about that position.
I think Health will be the top storyline as it relates to winning or losing.
