This team lacks an identity right now. They look lost.
In years past, if McDavid went down I wouldn't have been too worried. I felt like there was enough talent on the roster to keep the team afloat.
This roster though? Ughhhh.... who is going to elevate their game to fill the gap?
Who's honestly going hard enough and bearing down enough to be a real threat? Draisaitl is fine on offense but he's a penalty machine, Nuge is getting some chances but isn't cashing, Hyman is going ok but seems to have lost his finish completely (two shots last night where he missed the net by a country mile), Foegele is the same as Hyman, Holloway looks like he's good in the defensive zone but isn't generating anything on offense, Brown is a total dud so far, Kane is looking like a new Lucic, McLeod looks like he needs more development time in the minors again (zero threat to score and doesn't play the body at all), Ryan looks like he's lost a step and isn't a threat at all....
And don't get me started on the D. They are such a rollercoaster, one game ok and the next game a total liability.
I'm not optimistic here, folks. I don't mean to be a major Debbie Downer, but what the hell has happened to this squad?
