Overall I don’t have many complaints about any of Markstrom, Tanev, Mangiapane, Valimaki, Andersson, Lindholm or Gaudreau.
Dube gets a bit of pass but he has been invisible. Lucic has been engaged and contributing but the cap hit will always be a factor. Hanifin I’ve liked but his offensive swagger is all gone. Gio hasn’t been too bad but age is catching up.
The rest of the group, most notably Tkachuk, Monahan and Backlund have not been impressive at all to say the least. The other bottom of the roster forwards have contributed barely anything.
I truly believe the system they play is broken.
Will they make a change this season?
I doubt it.
