FWIW I think they’re 3rd in the league in goals scored.
They are, which is good going, I don't deny that. But I'm looking at this team from a playoffs perspective and I see that we have just 3 players with good goal-scoring touch, out of whom 1 is building a rep for being a guy you can knock off his game, 1 tends to go cold for long stretches and hasn't really done anything yet to prove he can be a consistent big-game player, and the other had a most recent postseason that could best be described as 'average'.
Obviously they came so close with those 3 last season but they also had Johansson, who not only contributed his own points but made Coyle a more effective player. And I haven't forgotten Kuhlman, who I think will continue to improve.
But all told it just doesn't feel like enough, and the chances of 2 or more of them being out of form or held quiet by the opposition at the same time seem too high over the stretch of a 7-game series. Having a 4th scorer is no guarantee of success, but it improves the odds and gives your opponent one more guy to worry about. If the FO can work out a way to land one, then IMO they absolutely have to go for it.
