Actually just wanted to top up on the note about the teams Even Strength production in the last 25 games - where it's quite strong for all of our top 9.
Even Strength:
Lindholm: 18 (19th)
Toffoli: 16 (31st)
Tkachuk: 16
Huberdeau: 15 (T-42)
Dube:15 (T-42)
Mangiapane: 14 (T-57)
Kadri: 14 (T-57)
Backlund: 14 (T-57)
Coleman: 12 (T-97)
Gaudreau: 11
So our 8 best forwards are all in the top 97 of Even Strength production over the last 25 games. Which in a 32 team league is kind of crazy - there are technically 96 first line forwards in the NHL.
This team really needs to figure out it's PP. The Even Strength production is there (top 10) but the lack of PP production is a killer, that an goaltending still being .893 over the last 25 games.
The PP should be solvable though - the talent is there, they need to figure out a 5 man unit and system that works.
