Every player looks miserable and lifeless. The only difference at all is the lack of an all-star goaltender to pull their asses out of the fire.

Having a captain who pots 30 every season helps.
They do look like a Sutter team though. Way too wound up on expectations. The acquisitions they made take up a lot of cap space in terms of salary.
Frolik - 5.5m
Hamilton - 5.5m
Hiller - 4.5m
Ramo - 3.8m
Raymond - 3.15m
Treliving spent like a drunken sailor. He's never managed a max cap team "going for it" before. That's a ton of waste for a team that finished top 8 last season.
