Giordano, Gaudreau and Monahan ought to be leading this team forward currently. Lindholm and Tkachuk are fantastic additions. Along with goaltending from Rittich and Talbot.
The team culture is out of synch. It appears there is no confidence and in turn comradeship (or vice versa) amongst the players. This team currently doesn't need a new winger or whatever to solve problems. They may not find that cohesive core but unless they do, and start doing something about it soon, which they are totally capable of, it's looking ugly.
Are these guys willing to commit passionately and long enough to be on the same page and come together,
We know what they're capable of.
