I wonder if there is another team in the league where bottom 6 scored just 1 goal in 7 games. and even this goal happened when Chaffee was on a shift with the second line
I think expectations should be lowered for them, honestly. They are not good offensively. Especially the makeup of the bottom six.
Atkinson, Ace, Girgensons, Glendening, and Chaffee....
Ace and Chaffee are probably the biggest letdowns because they have potential to hit 10-15. Ace looks poor with the puck if he isn't twirling around the net on his edges. Glendening and Girgensons? Expecting offense there is by and large a waste of time, especially with both of them on the same line. Vanilla and more vanilla is still vanilla. Can't really fault Atkinson as we took a low risk/high reward chance with him, but this isn't really a surprise. We desperately need a legitimate middle six RW. Not a fractured back, 4'3" 30pt forward. A legitimate NHL middle six RW. We desperately lack that.
