With all those problems it's amazing they managed 50 wins last year.
I agree though that they are weak down the middle, and so does Treliving, which is why he tried to acquire Kadri I guess. Too bad the little #### wouldn't waive his NTC.
That's been magnified by having Backlund's offensive game fall off a cliff this season. Not mention instead of Jankowski taking a step forward he seems to have taken about 20 steps backwards. Possibly butt hurt because he knows he was traded this past off season.
My biggest beef with Treliving is that he didn't go out and acquire ROR when he was made available. That was a huge miss. A key, cost controlled core piece that would have fit like a round peg in a gaping round hole this roster happens to have. It also would have come with the added bonus of no James Neal signing.
ROR = no James Neal = no Milan Lucic

Agreed on the ROR front. With what St. Louis got him for (hell, with what Buffalo got him for), gah what a missed opportunity. Centre depth of O’Reilly, Monahan, Backlund, and Ryan? That’s formidable.
