Probably should've spent the first and seconds on that RW shooter, which they haven't addressed for who knows how long now. Since Iggy departed.
The forward group wasn't at a point where going all out to add that extra beef to the defense was going to push them over the top. Hamonic's game doesn't provide enough to move the needle on the team, really. Someone who could score and take the pressure off of Monahan to be the go to guy would've moved it a lot more.
That big bad blue line has nothing to work with from the forwards, and instead has to help pick up the slack for the forward group cause it's starved for finish and talent.
