So what is it?

Is it simply a lack of talent?

Guys underachieving?

Lack of leadership?
All of the above.

I'm not going to say Marchand is a shitty leader, but the room definitely seems to be missing a bit of gravitas with Bergeron gone. I think that in part is because the fact very rarely is a locker room "led" by one guy. If you go back to the glory days, you had multiple guys filling that role. Chara as the face of it, Bergeron, Recchi, Ference to an extent. Even as time rolled on it became Bergeron and Marchand. Now Marchand is alone with nobody that stands out in that way.

The rest is self explanatory. Guys like Coyle who were significant pieces last year suck now, the adds they made didn't help and then the holes everywhere else in the lineup.
 
I don’t know how you get one.

There isn’t one available in free agency over the summer.

And you don’t have the trade chips to acquire one.

So what’s the alternative? Deal one of your core pieces? Take a step or two back to take steps forward long term?

Not sure what choice you have.
I wish I knew. Luck i guess?

Bergeron was a 2nd rd pick

Krejci was a 2nd rd pick.

I just don't wanna tank for 5 years haha.

I’m really still stunned. This team, to me has been a mental mess this entire season.

I do not know why. It’s really odd.
If you're referring to the fact that most of the players on the B's aren't talented enough to do what their mind wants them to do, then yes, it is a 'mental mess.'
 
Get a point and lose in overtime I'm ok with that.😃

Were gonna lose a heartbreaker in overtime but we still circling around the wc2 toilet to play caps.😃

I wanna stay in that wc2 hunt and get swept by caps. I want playoffs. 😃

I guess but you never know get in and sway becomes tim Thomas. One can dream. I want that wc2.

Marchy is a great captain. Pasta is a leader....Mac...kind of and Coyle. After that I see no one. Usually, the Bs have leaders who are not wearing letters but are leaders none the less. There are fewer than usual for sure.
