The team is really trending downwards right now. They've even managed to stay relatively healthy. It's just not clicking.
I've been thinking about that this season. Our bottom six sucked last season, we needed a high amount of turnover, but not only did we do that, but we've brought in a new 2C and a top six winger by committee mentality out of necessity.
The Avs identity has been tied to not only skating but speed and I just don't think they've got the horses to do that as effectively and believe that it's at least partly on Bednar to come up with something new that's tailored to the players he's got. I'm not sure I've really seen much changed but I'll be the first to admit that there are others on here a hell of a lot smarter than I on the X's and O's.
