Team should make a move and go for it this year and for next year before the current contracts of Tkachuk, Ferland and etc are up. These 2 are going to get paid and we should take advantage of their lower cap hits now.
Also, it should be painfully obvious to Treliving by now that the current team he has assembled cannot consistently put the puck in the net. That’s why this team is so reliant on winning 1 goal games or nail bitters.
Team is too top heavy and can’t seem to score unless Gaudreau and rest of the 1st line is on the ice. Tkachuk has picked up a lot of goals as of late, but the majority of them has been scored on the PP with Gaudreau on the ice. The fact that he’s still figuring in on over 40% is completely absurd. Only 2 other guys are doing the same thing for their teams (McDavid & Eichel) and they’re way out of the playoffs.
