1. Hit the net more often - by this I mean stop shooting it wide on grade A opportunities and try not to aim at the goalies crest if you do hit the net
2. Stop dumping and chasing all the time - Our forecheck and team speed is rather poor at puck retrieval
3. Stop letting teams walk into our zone and playing keep away for 2 mins - I think last game there was a timer on Bennett and Hanifin because the Leafs had the puck on a string
I'd much rather play well and lose than play bad and win. At the end it all catches up
A wish list for this season's team eh. That's cute.
Fine with me. Leivo has been a pretty massive disappointment for me. Wasn't expecting him to come in and light it right up all season, but I did expect at least something.

He's like the 2nd best fw signing they made this past offseason. Nordstrom by default has been the best one.

Large gap between
2. Leivo
Then dig down as deep as you can go , invent a deep earth coring machine and then imvent a machine that can travel to the earth's core and back out to the other side and...
3. SIMON
And really, they've been easily the worst 3 forwards on the team at all times
\While I find the stats interesting, it would be really helpful if guys that posted them also put either a league average or a comparable. Fore ex. Crosby. then we can see if these random numbers are actually good. Just a suggestion.
If we just got a Toffoli, Athanasiou or Granlund, we wouldn't have to waste our time putting unrealistic expectations on replacement guys like Leivo and Simon.
Yeah you have to get creative with cap, but at least you're then not dealing with this rotating door all season.

Tinkerliving gonna tinker.
Just noticed Athanasiou has pup up 4G, 2A in 10 games for LA.
That makes me laugh so, so much. Edmonton spent two 2nd round picks on him, and then didn't qualify him.

I remember on the Flames Firestarter podcast with Brendan Parker and somebody else, one of them predicted Leivo would score 20 this year.
At this point Leivo getting 20 scoring chances is a stretch.

He already has 25, to be fair. He's fifth on the team for individual scoring chances/60.
