Sometimes it takes players a while to figure it out.

Yeah, you might be right but our players aren't necessarily built that way. To me, tougher to play against means being able to hit the opposing team and changing the momentum of the game. I just dont think the current team has that element and they need a few more players who can play physical and score. The current team can definitely learn from this past season but I don't think Gaudreau is hitting anyone anytime soon.
