I’m enjoying this run, but they’re not a playoff team and clearly Hughes didn’t think so either because he wasn’t going to pay what was necessary to add pieces.
It’s clear from his suzuki quote that he allowed “the fellowship” to stay together
@Runner77 at the captain’s request, but the wild swings in winning / losing streaks sealed his decision.
If we see it, they see it:
Too young
Not enough offensive talent beyond 1st line
Streaky and injure prone secondary scoring (Laine / Dach)
No 2C
No 1D -injured
Inconsistent goaltending
Too small throughout the lineup -
Carrier, Hutson, caufield, Gallagher, Newhook is a lot of small players at key positions. And yes I know that caufield and Hutson are immense talents.
Let’s see what Hughes/gorton do this summer
