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.

I've been thinking about this for quite a while now. Looking up and down the roster, I think the only player who can legitimately one time the puck with any kind of quality is Giordano. Ferland and Monahan I've seen do it from time to time, but not with any regularity. Tbh i'm not actually sure when was the last time a forward unloaded a one timer for a goal....?
I'm not saying getting a player who can one time the puck will solve any of our problems, but I think that somewhat speaks to the disconnect between the GM and coaches philosophy of what it takes to score goals versus the rest of the league.
