You can build around defense and goaltending but without a gamebreaker or two up front there's no point in playing prevent hockey. You need someone that can reliably crack the scoresheet at least once a game.
Our top guys have become more streaky and less consistent, so there are a number of nights when we look just ####in anemic when it comes to scoring goals.
This is also why not getting Eichel at a potentially discounted rate is unnacceptable to me. Whichever team picks him up is undoubtedly going to help themselves. We need to be that team.

Yeah he was banking on the Johnny/Monahan to carry the heavy lifting but that came to the crashing end 2 yrs ago
And here we are. Problems everywhere.
