Injuries too.This is more of what im talking about, it wasn't that the 2nd line suffered from the acquisitions, I think the fact that players got bumped is what messed things up
Barron went down late in the year. Key PKer.
Nino took a skate blade in the leg. Slowed him down. Probably the worst result an Adam Lowry line had in the playoffs.
Top line got beat too. Vilardi was not impactful.
Perfetti only got in when Namestnikov went down. After AJF got in for Gus. Kupari was buried by Bones, which is curious with speed factor.
There's a different look with Namestnikov and Kupari up the middle instead of Monahan and Gus, and speed is the difference.
Dillon injury threw the team in some chaos too. Bottom pairing sucked game 4. You could probably say bottom pairing sucked game 1-4. With Miller didn't suck but 2nd pairing struggled in decisive game, specifically one player.
