This!
If you remember before last playoffs everyone was saying how the NHL had changed and smaller skilled forwards was where it was at...
Well we all know how the first round of the playoffs went across both conferences.
All comes back to size. And the size this team does have is low skill.
Problem is retooling this team towards that pretty much has to come from the draft because a guy like Gaudreau for example wont even land you a skilled power forward.
The Bennett thing really hampered the overall plan tbh.
