Our entire right side was made up of left shot right wingers for a part of the season when we had Ferland, Frolik and Jagr. I didn't see anyone one timers here. The real answer might be that these guys don't have a talent to do so. I mean to be fair to these guys though, Jagr isn't even in the league anymore and Ferland was in the bottom 6 last season and Frolik is probably a natural 3rd liner anyway.

Laine is probably the best sniper in the game today. Better than Ovechkin at this point in their respective careers. Laine would be a perennial 50 goal scorer on this team.
