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.

Maybe the reason our supporting players don't contribute is because Gulutzan completely misscasts them in their roles. Brouwer is unable to score anymore, but we keep putting him on the PP. Could we maybe try someone with a little scoring touch in that role? Maybe Jankowski? We bring up our leading AHL scorerer and don't give him a sniff of any offensive chances. Just plug away on the 3/4 line and not even a chance on the PP.
I'm not saying we have great scoring depth, because it sure doesn't look like it. But when your head coach missuses the little depth you have it certainly doesn't help.
