But that’s not the case because the biggest and most important variable is skill and this team lacks it. The roster lacks players with legitimate one shot scoring ability, lacks guys who can score from a distance, that’s why there’s no one timer threat which this team sorely needs. Gio and Dougie have hard shots from the backend, but firing shots from the point isn’t necessarily sustainable which is why the 1-3-1 has become so popular.
The second unit was just a big waste of time as they couldn’t even get set up because their puck retrieval is as bad as it gets. That’s not a coaching problem, that’s a skill problem.

The Devils just made the playoffs with Hall at 93 points and the next guy 42 points behind him. The Devils have 4 guys with 40+ points, the Flames have 6. The Devils were 11th in the league in PP.
Yes let's blame the problems on skills.
