When Gaudreau, Monahan, Lindholm and Tkachuk are near or better than ppg this team should be a contender. When they score 0.5-0.75 points per game this team is on the bubble

Management screwed up by experimenting with the roster this season. They thought this team was deep enough to just create pairs of forwards, stick them with league minimum scraps and expect production. The chemistry was completely out of whack and it took until game 40 to finally find a functioning 1st line.
Too little too late. Maybe management shouldn’t have been playing GM mode on Playstation when deciding their line combos. Sure, on a video game or even on paper, things looked ok. But in application, not even close. Bad decisions by everyone involved and they shouldn’t be in charge of scouting this team anymore, find some better scouts Tre.
