The lack of scoring depth is the real reason why we’re not a better team right now. If 30 of the team’s 32 wins this season requires contribution from a Gaudreau or Monahan, that proves we’re too top heavy and too reliant on 1 or 2 guys each night.

Add in the fact that Backlund and Frolik are uncharacteristically poor in their finishing this year and you've basically only have 3 guys who can 'reliably' score in Gaudreau, Monahan and Tkachuk.
