Ceci seems just as effective as Larson at half the $. Hyman is as delivered. The PP is clipping along but 5on5 is where they need to improve as playoffs are a 5on5 game.
We will see how the boys stack-up against teams like Carolina, Tampa, Florida, St.Louis or more importantly what they do in the playoffs.
Like to see the oil target a legitimate younger 3rd line centre (Ryan is up there in age and is a #4) and a strong #5 d-man at the trade deadline.

It was good to have 4 games against weaker teams to start. Vegas is legit and they beat them with a second string goalie. They have been outshot for the most part, but not out chanced. Allowing low percentage shots is a good plan. 5 goals a game is giving them a really good chance at winning.
