Eller & Connolly remain garbage. Half the forwards are basically fringe.

Connolly had great seats on that last goal
Aside from Beagle, no one in the bottom six is good at much of anything beside killing penalties. They're pretty much running two fourth lines at the moment. That after a summer when they paid so much lip service to building a formidable third line. It's not even close to being there currently.Not really
So will probably once again go into the TDL with a good Top 6 and a hole in the bottom 6...and then trade for someone who doesn't fix the bottom 6.
No idea what they can do with this bottom 6.

At some point 65 and 14 are going to start scoring. When the league starts to tire mid season, I think Wilson's strength will start providing some goals. Eller isn't going to end up with 5 goals either.
I don't think the Caps have holes as much as they are not hitting on anything like all cylinders right now
This. No matter how poorly some players have been performing (14,20,43, 65 and 74), their numbers are unsustainably low. In other words, it can't get any worse for them, it can only get better.
Once they all return to their normal level of production, we won't have to rely heavily on 8 and 19 to get the job done every night.
If 92 gets going again I feel like a lot of those other players you mentioned will also get going. As much as Backstrom is an engine that drives the 8 train sometimes...92 is an engine that drives secondary scoring.
