Giroux isn't a shoot first player. Would be redundant on this group.
Need a shoot-first shooter. Someone that can hit net from further out. Like 960 brought up Lindholm is the only/main threat currently that has that kind of shot. Everybody else scores from in close, outside of the odd outlier.
We only score from further out on deflections. Got nobody with a hard and accurate shot, or at least nobody who is using it.
And this is why as soon as we get shy about driving to that prime area our scoring completely dries up. Boston countered us very well by just worrying about boxing us out of that space, even at the sacrifice of losing the possession game.
