I fully expected that Petry would help Geno and the 2nd line create more offense. Offensively Karlsson is a world ahead of him in that regard. I also expect the PP to be greatly improved. We had 3 issues last year, a horrific PP, black hole offense from our bottom 6 and subpar goaltending. We addressed 2 out of 3 for sure, remains to be seen if Jarry bounces back from injuries and inconsistencies. My only concern in Ruh playing regularly and a toilet paper soft defense.
I'll keep banging this drum: it's not the Defensemen who are the SOLE culprits on this team. It's the Forwards who screw the pooch repeatedly.
I'll offer you any top 4 NHL Dmen and if you grafted them onto last year's team, you'd see maybe a 10 goal against reduction. There are only 2 Dmen on the ice at any moment...the forwards allow more lanes and opposing threats than I've seen in some time
Jake, Sid and Geno were the biggest offenders the past 2 seasons
