They have enough talent, it's just in the wrong positions

If they could trade two wingers for two comparable defenseman, I.e boeser and garland are both 2nd line wingers, boeser fringe 1st line. For two 2nd pairing d men

Team would be drastically difference, problem is right now with Hughes being only top pairing guy, and the rest being 3rd pairing or worse.

It's why we set the record for blown multi goal leads through 40 games, but are also 2nd in the league in comeback wins

Just too run and gun out of necessity

Reason why last year the run under bruce was so good was because of demko, and OEL/myers played like top 4 d men. Both those things are gone this year
