What we usually see is that no one player replaces all of what we lost when another player leaves.  But the returning player has strengths that the departing player did not.  In addition, all of the returning players typically get a little better.

I agree that very roughly Olivia replaces Azura, Megan replaces Gabby, and Christyn replaces Kia.

Liv needs to get stronger in her upper body and needs to learn not to swat at shots (Z didn't fully learn that).

Meg is not the passer that Gabby was, but she may be a similar physical specimen and rebounder.  She's more aggressive on offense by nature.

Christyn is not the defender that Kia was, but her offensive game may be more complete.  I don't know if her 3-point shooting is as elite.

With Z gone, Pheesa can roam the interior, as she did as a sophomore.  I expect to see her scoring back closer to 20 ppg.

I expect Lou to be All-World.

Crystal will take up some of the assists that Gabby made last year.

I'm not sure we will be as good as last year, but by early 2019, there should be little difference.

In terms of replacing Lou and Pheesa, that's an ouch!  But it's an effective sales pitch to Ms. Jones and Ms. Horston.
