Yeah a 30-40 goal winger and a true #1D man. Easy, right?
As for the state of the team, ask yourself what would happen to this team if Connor McDavid missed any amount of time.
I believe this team is missing two twenty goal scorers. Not one superstar.
And a healthy blueline of.
Sekera Russell
Klefbom Larsson
Nurse Benning
Jones Bouchard
Gravel Bear
Manning Petrovic
Plus other depth guys like Pearson and Lagesson.
It has no #1 but honestly shouldn't need one.
A couple decent scorers and a goalie are the pieces I think are missing. If Lucic goes back to being a 20 goals scorer we just need one scorer and one goalie.
Lots of potential for some scorers but nothing materializing.
And of course without McDavid the team is in serious trouble but it wouldn't surprise if the team did better than expected.
