All in all the team did better than my expectations this year, bright spots were Swayman and Ullmark replacing Rask without any big drop off. Lindholm is a nice addition, give him a full year to get used to the system. Time to get a little more skilled and chip in with some muscle and size. The team is too focused on everyone being too defensive, slow and pondering, lets push the pace and throw some weight around.
Mac needs help from another dee that can put up points, try and get Chychrun. Hall was fine but he needs a real Center, Haula is at best a 3rd line guy, he can replace Coyle. Haula cannot drive a line in the top 6. Pasta was going half speed, probably still injured, it was rare to see him skate like he used too. Imagine if they got Hertl, or a guy like him, that is what they need.
I wish Jake would stay, he was one of the best forwards we had on the other hand streaky Smith is no better than Lazar, get rid of him, Nosek and Foligno, there are options in house. Bergeron's days are coming to an end sadly and no one in the organization is good enough to take over. They have to trade to upgrade down the middle for both top two spots. At least the Leafs are out, I can have peace and quiet her in Ontario.
I hope Bergy is back and he will take a discount to help the team because he is Bergy.
