Our issue is actually NHL level setup guys up front IMO.
Guys we have that are capable of scoring 20 goals are: D. Sedin, Kesler, Booth, H. Sedin, Higgins, Raymond (once, on pace this year), Hansen (on pace this year).
Our only guys to have recorded 30 assist (what I consider an equivalent point) are: D. Sedin, H. Sedin, Kesler, and Burrows (once).
The top line is obviously getting'er done but with Kesler out, we don't even have one other guy on another line that has shown he can put up top 6 level assists in the NHL. In contrast, we have four other guys that have shown they can chip in a top 6 level amount of goals if put in the right situation.
Adding a guy like Gagne, Hemsky, Tanguay, Hudler, Hodgson, Ennis, Stastny, Brassard, Roy, Rebeiro, Fleischmann, Versteeg, Boyes, Nielsen, Boedker, or Purcell. Might make a big difference in getting a guy like Booth or Higgins scoring goals again...obviously these guys have different cons or they wouldn't be on the list at all.
