In my opinion they don't have the offensive talent available to outscore the goals against it would allow. They barely can outscore it now.
They were the driving forces behind those high octane teams. They have the ability and skillset to play and succeed with that style. To say otherwise completely contradicts everything they have accomplished to date.

So the solution is to make these guys play a style of hockey that does not compliment their skillsets at all? That's pure stupidity. This organization paid these players handsomely based off of their offensive ability.
