I think there's been some addition by subtraction. I think some of the players that left were part of the problem.
Lindholm for example is good with the right counterparts around him. We no longer had those which made him way less effective. And there was practically negative chemistry between him and his linemates, which made two other guys way less effective than they could be.
Ruzicka? He wasn't the guy. Especially not at center.
The pieces coming in relief are more motivated and appear to click better already.
