Looks like hagg is out. The rest are better. And a good coach knows how to Adjust to his talent not force players to play differently. Like forcing a square peg in a round hole
You're still limited by the set of skills your players possess and how they fit together.
Pittsburgh moved out half their roster, first to upgrade, then to fit Sullivan's style of coaching.
Couts is our best player, period, and post-all star Provorov is #2.
Couts has shown the last four years he's effective with anyone on his wings, scores more with better scorers, but the almost the exact same advanced metrics over that period.
Provorov, when he's playing the way he has the last few nights, could have Manning on his right side and it would be a good pairing!
The rest either have limitations or are too inexperienced to carry that weight.
Giroux is great at LW with Couts, where he doesn't have to carry a line.
JVR and Voracek are offensive players, but neither digs for the puck or goes balls to the wall on defense.
Simmonds is a top 6 talent around the net and a 4th line talent at center ice trying to skate with the puck or pass it.
Laughton needs a center to set him up and CYA so he can aggressively forecheck.
Sanheim is improving, but he should be on the left side with a veteran RHD.
Ghost is a great PP QB where he has space, but 5x5 his size and lack of top level straight line speed can leave him exposed without a good partner.
Gudas needs a LHD who can skate with the puck and let him focus on hitting people and shooting from the point.
Hagg is a younger, dumber version of Gudas.
