They're so desperately win-now but MacLellan needs to take a step back at some point and evaluate what he's putting together. As-is it's too slow, pretty arguably too old and in need of more truly well-rounded skillsets.
This. I've always maintained that not only are they cap-strapped with little room to maneuver, they also have so little flexibility within the roster itself. We have a lot of guys that are decent to great at what they do, but very little 2-way players or well-rounded players. Who do we have that are like that?
Backstrom, Oshie and Wilson? Thats it? And Backstrom and Oshie are older players. Even the guys that we have signed recently hoping that they were 2 way players haven't panned out such as Panik. And others have regressed like Orlov.
Everyone else is severely limited in another facet one way or another. It just gives us fewer options on how to fix things.
