I agree with the scoring needing a boost, but I'm not entirely sure what the way to go about it really is. I'd love to add a whole new second line that allows them to make Backlund, Coleman, and Mangiapane the third line, and also create a strong 4th line, but that's certainly not happening as it would be nearly impossible cap wise. The aforementioned trio do seem to work okay together, but Backlund isn't scoring at the rate of a top 6 player anymore which makes them more of a 2B type line. Maybe someone to play with Monahan and Lucic and score some goals, push Dube to the 4th line and another guy on the 4th line who can contribute something offensively.
On one hand you don't want to mess too much with what they have. But there are spots in the lineup that need to boost production. Will be interesting to see what the team does. I'd rather not be trading 3rd and 4th round picks for Oscar Fantenbergs.
