We gotta utilize our defensive depth in the organization to improve the third line in particular. Within the organization, hopefully someone like Dube will be a big help.

Not just depth, but top end too - or we are just spreading our top talent across too many lines.
The fact that a waiver wire pickup at the trade deadline is one of our most viable options on our top line seems fairly damning. Ferland has been struggling up there as of late too.
The bottom 6 main problem is a lack of speed IMO. They should pressure the defence, force turnovers and provide energy. It rarely happens.
