I'm all for optimism, but what scares me once again is the fact our top players are never our top players.

I have a strange feeling we'll be wanting another "core" shake again this year, but god forbid we address it.

We can pump McDavid's ego up as much as we want saying he's the best player (rightfully so) but he shows up every night too. They had their top line rolling all night and ours was virtually invisible.

Eye test, advance stats I get it, but the SAME thing plagues this team year after year and we've yet to address it for 5+ years now. I'd love to assume Coleman is the answer here, but I think were in for some serious disappointment if that's who were hoping is the savior.

This is why I'm all for going all in on Eichel, that's the shakeup this team needs.
Or lets re-build but that wont happen with the Sutter hire.
