I would say coaching generally, but especially the PP.

I think roster management has been a bit of a failure as well. Treliving has done a pretty good job, but there are still some pretty big holes to fill. A legitimate 1st line RW would probably see increasing returns as well. Gaudreau would probably be leading the league in points if we had one. No offense to Ferland, but he is not that player.

Obviously getting a top RW is not easy though so it's difficult to put blame on Treliving, but I do question why we needed to spend valuable assets on Hamonic in the off-season. Don't get me wrong, I like Hamonic and he is a welcome addition for sure, but I feel the move wasn't the biggest priority to give up what we did.
