Not the biggest fan of our forwards as a whole..

I like Huberdeau, Lindholm and Mangiapane but the rest leave a lot to be desired.

I feel like we are missing a 2nd line as Toffoli is the only other top 6 forward IMO.

Backlund and Coleman are solid 3rd liners but we shouldn’t need to rely on them for much offence. They top out as 35-40pt guys which isn’t bad but not optimal for 2nd liners.
