We are struggling for goals and relying on 2 lines because the GM built the team to get some offence from the back-end and the coach isnt letting them.

I don't understand why so many people think the defensemen aren't allowed to "do anything." Did we not just see TJ Brodie and Hamonic jump into the play and score a goal a couple days ago, does Hamilton not jump into the play all the time? Does Gio not jump into the play from time to time? Kulak’s first goal he scored was directly a result from jumping into the play. If these guys aren't allowed to jump into the play, then why are there so many examples of our defensemen jumping into the play?
If our GM built this team to get enough goals from whoever and wherever, then why did he admit hat goal scoring was going to be the weak link going into the season? Why did he feel compelled to sign a 46 year old Jagr a day before the season started? He also did the same thing the year before with Versteeg. If the man who built this team knew we were going to struggle to score goals, then I don't think it's too crazy for us fans to believe the same thing.
