They're a team that has to be playing well bottom to top to get wins. When they aren't, they get walked on. Good teams have the Kanes and Crosbys that can take the team on their back when it's not playing great. Otherwise you're relying on work ethic as your crutch when talent can't steal you points every odd night, and often the team will run out of gas. Just like the Jets did when they returned to the playoffs in 2015. They had the size to compete with the ducks. But the ducks had the talent.

I disagree. They have tons of forward talent already, which is why I was expecting more.
I imagine they'll figure it out. They have some young players but Maurice doesn't really have any excuse not to make it work.
