At this point you really have to ask yourself if Hall, RNH, Shultz and Eberle are 'great' players like they are supposed to be, or just slightly above average players that think they can win with their dangles and fancy moves alone.
Every 'great' player in the NHL has the work ethic and relentless attitude to go along with their top end skill.
RNH and company might have skill and all, but so does Robbie Shremp. It is the other part in their game that is lacking, and I honestly don't see that changing at all with a better 'supporting' cast.
On top of that, despite everything FDW wants to say, the fact is that RNH wasn't ready for the NHL, and it is is PAINFULLY obvious. Plus, they blew their ELCs, because they thought that skill alone was enough to make it in the NHL.
Which goes to management I suppose.
Just don't think their 'top-end' players are really that good.
