Bizarre take.
Ferland at RW was not the problem. Not having a second scoring line was the problem. The 1st line was fine last year. We didn’t even have a legitimate second scoring line, that was the problem. Crazy how some people just fixate on who plays RW with Gaudreau/Monahan when not having another scoring line was quite clearly the problem

True. The top line can only score one goal at a time and they can only be on the ice so much. Last season looks a lot different if Backlund and Frolik have production more like the year before or if Jankowski/Bennett/Jagr/Hathaway/Versteeg works better. I think treliving was counting on 15-20 goals each out of Bennett, Frolik and Jagr. Bennett was the best, with 11. Jagr had 1 (pro-rated at 4).
