Yes, a lot more of this.
weird, every time I try, I just get this:

That there's a lack of depth, particularly on RWWhat do you mean?
I think it more of a perceived lack of depth. Lindholm was nearly a point per game last year, Frolik was over half a point per game. If Bennett improves he could push for half a point per game too, and Rieder is a very solid 4th line option. Plus, Czar is a pretty skilled 13th forward.That there's a lack of depth, particularly on RW
I think pretty much playoff team in the league has a glaring hole somewhere in their line-up. It's a symptom of the salary cap and something I hope they address when it comes to discussing the terms of the new CBAThat there's a lack of depth, particularly on RW
In this situation we definitely do not need another top 6 winger, since there's no reason to push Backlund down to the 3rd line simply for the sake of it when we already have a 30+ point 3C. If we acquired Kadri, maybe we should push him down, but pushing him down the lineup to try and get Bennett in the top 6 is extremely counterproductive.Gaudreau-Monahan-?
Tkachuk-Lindholm-Bennett
?-Backlund-Frolik
This can also set us up nicely, if someone from within can become a very good top 6 winger, that would really benefit us.
But whatever the case we need to get Sam Bennett into the top 6 because that is where he will succeed.
I'd prefer to at least shuffle the lines around so other teams can't focus primarily on shutting down Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm because once you get past Tkachuk things start to "meh" out considerably.I think it more of a perceived lack of depth.

I think that is the case with most teams. They have a massive hole somewhere, except Tampa.I'd prefer to at least shuffle the lines around so other teams can't focus primarily on shutting down Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm because once you get past Tkachuk things start to "meh" out considerably.
Another solid piece in the top six would be lovely, albeit a fever dream with the lack of cap space.
I literally treat it as entertainment. I use to be die hard, but I can't waste the time anymore. Now I waste it here being a dork.I keep expectations as low as heavenly possible. If one thing of being a fan of this for years has taught me, they absolutely break when expectations are put upon them.

Look at it this way, 16 teams make the playoffs, that means only a 6.25% chance of winning, 12.5% of reaching the finals. That is before factoring anything else in and even if the odds look better all it takes is a hot goalie or a offense to knock you out.Guess I’m still young and someone hopeful.

Try having them win a Cup when you are like 9 and thinking it's easy, then you get the Young Guns Era instead....I’ll give up the spirit of my firstborn for one conference final appearance.
