Morrison, Kulak, Culkin and Kylington are. Wotherspoon is supposed to be working on his offensive game. So is Sieloff.
And even Kylington isn't generating a whole lot of offence - his improvement has been in the defensive zone (which is great, but the point about offense stands).
I know that young teams don't do well in the AHL, but that doesn't excuse his complete lack of success on so many fronts.
Forwards?... D?... goaltending?...
Nope. We aren't seeing much in the way of improvements anywhere.
