The team just feels faceless and they certainly play like it.

There is definitely something about building teams through the draft instead of through free agency. Stanley Cup winners usually build through the former, rather than the latter.
Treliving didn’t get that memo apparently, he loves free agency and trading picks. How many homegrown, impact players remain now that Tkachuk and Gaudreau are gone? Backlund? Andersson? Barely anything. This is not the way you build a contender today.
