Fair enough, and honestly thats exactly what I'm doing - just looking at their recent performance. Id would be easy to say "they need Price" back, and while true, Price doesn't score goals and the back ups have been serviceable in relief.
And absolutely, BGally has great value to the team. And getting DSP back will be a huge boost. Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd write.
The team is good, definitely above average, but I still think they are several pieces away from being a true contender. I don't know if a deadline rental will add much, even if it is Stamkos.
Ideally they'd acquire two bona fide top 6 wingers. I'm actually happy with the centre situation for the first time in a long while, even though Galchenyuk has been inconsistent.
Aside from Pacioretty and Gallagher, the rest of their wingers are third line guys at best.
