Might give some insight as to why the replacement level signings have contributed SFA to scoring this year as well.

Yeah, I don't think they've done a lot of bonding as a group in a way that has really integrated the new members. They just appear to be on different pages and don't have the body language that suggests that they're going to war for each other.
Bonding doesn't necessarily happen in the airport/hotel and eating together. Sometimes you need an excursion or activity away from hockey to form those connections throughout the group.
