1) Give the team a real first line. Lindholm and Backlund have given us two excellent second lines and Ruzicka has given us a strong fourth

Huberdeau - Kadri is a start, but Lucic doesn't have the coordination left to pot the 20-25 goals his linemates should be creating for him. I firmly believe Matthew Phillips or Matt Coronato could fill this role, but it comes down to the coaching staff.

2) Get Oliver Kylington back. Not only does that allow us to reunite Zadorov-Weegar, but it gives us a much improved transition attack. More importantly, if we can reduce goals against, that will put us in a better position to pad goal stats with empty netters. And Less responsibility should also open up Weegar's game a little to be more offensive.

3) Fix the god damn powerplay. I don't think Rasmus Andersson is the answer at the point. I don't know if the four forwards currently on PP1 can fill the roles we actually need them to fill. And having guys on this strong wing is isn't really the answer. It's going to get a lot of flak but even here guys like Coronato or Phillips on the left circle may be the answer. But either way, we need a more surgical PPQB. Andersson is a good player but he doesn't really drive PP scoring the way even a guy like Tyson Barrie does.
