We built this team from the backend out.

We knew they would have trouble scoring as a team. However:

Brodie - 4 Goals
Hamonic - 1 Goal
Kulak - 2 Goals
Stone - 2 Goals

You can not have your bottom 4 D score a combined 9 goals in 250 games played.

Then add in a 4th line that has scored what, 5 goals when on the ice together?

Jagr, Bennet, and Versteeg were all expected to contribute more for sure, but the above is a massive black hole for offense, that doesn't have an easy/quick fix next year.

Then you need 2 more top 9 players (Unless you believe Bennett is one, which I don't)

I laugh at the lineups with a 4th line of Shore, Lazar and Hathaway for next season. That should be our 5th line to start the season, worth case.
