You can’t just magically overcome a pure lack of talent. Sure hard work can take you so far (and if the team wanted to start working hard for 60 minutes it would be refreshing), but regardless of everything else this team isn’t put together properly and you can’t overcome that.

You going to keep saying the same thing over and over? Please explain how Backlund is not a top 6 player when last season he was ranked 36th in even strength points among centers in the league. Is it his defense that is lacking for the top 6? Hes snakebitten at the moment like most of the team, its not lack of talent or effort.
He has one less even strength goal than both Gaudreau and Monahan this season, yet he is your target? Bizarre. Carry on then.
