I haven't seen a ton of them but from what I've seen their goaltending does them in a lot of the time, Enstrom is becoming less effective but still leaned on heavily and only just now is Scheiffele blossoming into a #1 centre. Losing Ladd hurts but they have some good young prospects. They need to fast forward Hellebuyck's progression just like we need to fast forward Gillies'. Pavelec is one of the worst starting goalies in the league and Hutchinson isn't the answer either I don't think. If they can solve their goaltending they can turn it around. Doesn't help being in the tough central though, no easy division games with them being the worst team in the division. I like BUF and CGY's young nucleus better than WPG's pre-2016 draft.
