I think what people didn't see coming was Backlund, Coleman, Dube, and Monahan producing as little as they have.
Mainly the bottom 6 as a whole.
I would've expected near 0.5 PPG pace from Backlund and Coleman.
That would be another 12 points or so between the two by this point and a huge difference in the depth production if they were up to par.
Or even of you don't get that, but you do get Monahan scoring like his old self and then the balance of scoring around the line up looks much better.
Between the three struggling offensively its really sucked our depth production dry. We needed them to play even just at their average over the last three seasons to have adequate depth contributions to this point.
An extra goal per night from the middle six and you're suddenly in much better shape.
