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.

You do realize that this team was really good last year, of course
Out: Gaudreau 115 points, Tkachuk 104 pts in 82 games
In: Huberdeau 115 points, Kadri 87 points in 71 games = 100 point pace

The coach has no excuse to trot out the ‘we don’t have the kind of talent’ position. Well, other than the fact that it is just something he says, and his brother said when he had prime Iggy
The goaltending would not be an issue in my opinion. It’s the attention to detail and egregious breakdowns that have killed then this year. Clean that up, and the goaltending wouldn’t be talked about nearly as much
