I think we are missing a few more points than that.
Our goaltending was struggling and right now we are riding a kid on a 4 game hot streak. I like Ortio and I hope he can keep this pace up, maybe he is the answer, but I wouldn't make that assumption after 4 games.
I would love to add a pure goal scorer, a reliable finisher, to the line up. Eberle, Neal, someone like that. Hudler is tied for like 47th overall in the league for goals scored. It would be nice to have a reliable, constant pure goal scorer. Don't give me flack about Eberle either, his lack of production is tied to his crappy team. He would thrive on a different team.
I also would like to erase a guy like Bollig and add an enforcer/energy player who does the job. Remember Ville Nieminen? Prust, Neil, Downie, Lucic, etc. Someone to keep the other team accountable and protect the young guys.They can play the game, and keep everyone honest. Seems like Bollig isn't doing this.
