I'm not sure what the offseason signings have to do with it.

I was kind of kidding, but basically
- lower points resulted in a team friendly / lower dollar contract for Mackinnon
- Tre has given away top tier puck moving D and replaced them with comparatively immobile D
- besides Coleman, the highlight of the off-season was constructing a fourth line with combined age over 100
I’ll say again that when Ritchie played with Gaudreau and Monahan, in 135 minutes even strength, the team got zero (0) goals
So basically what I was saying is that Treliving is a genius. By surrounding Johnny with a team full of low skill players, he can keep his numbers low and negotiate a great contract
