To me we were missing that clear cut #1 Dman and effective 3rd line scoring on this team to make it a true contender. I had hopes Monahan would come through, and with the addition of Toffoli it seems to be happening but not just with him. Dube looks like different player out there.
I also didn't think Andersson or Kylington were capable of being that #1 dman we needed, but man oh man is it ever nice to see it happening with Rasmus. No need to mortgage the future for Chychrun or Klingberg when the answer is unfolding right in front of us.
The only other missing piece I could think of is 4th line role players.....and along comes Adam Ruzicka. Even THAT line is getting looks and putting up points.
This team is legit. Literally everything a cup winner needs and I can't WAIT for playoffs.
