I disagree that the team is not built properly. Did anyone honestly go into this season saying "Gee whiz guys, this team is just completely built the wrong way. What a bad GM". No.
Everyone, including myself thought that this team was built properly, with manageable shortfalls at RW. You had a really good 1C, 2C, 3C and even 4C. That is how you build your forward group; around Cs. Plus an emerging star LW.
Everyone thought our top 3 D-men were awesome, and that the bottom pair with Engelland was more than adequate.
The GM then traded for two goalies, and one of them could be considered a bonafide #1.
Tell me again how the team was built wrong? Wrong coaches? Perhaps. Wrong players? Perhaps, but while the team was being built, everyone agreed it was built right. This is a good team playing way below expectations.
