It's basically the exact same group of players that he assembled, and he was expecting this to not be an issue?

The outlier 2018/2019 season has been discussed a lot. I understand Brad hoping that the team rediscovers that production, but looking at the seasons around it, it's fairly obvious this team struggles to score 5 on 5.

I think he hoped for rebounds from the top 3 scorers, the same production from Tkachuk, and that Mangiapane and Dube would take a step. He probably expected more out of Leivo and maybe Simon.
