I think this + having Rasmus Dahlin as your captain hurts them a lot. Dahlin is an elite player, but has never experienced playoff hockey. How can you expect your teams captain to effectively lead if they haven't been in a competitive situation in the NHL? You need a lot of vets in your room with playoff experience to make up for that.
