I don't think adding stammers makes them a better team. I honestly don't know what this team needs. Where do you break it apart?

This reminds me of Edmonton before McDavid. Tons of top draft talent, but not coming together in the right way. I think Fantilli is the right guy to build around, but you need more vets in the top 6 who do not take nights off.

Consider a trade for a player like Travis Konecny in the offseason (provided he is willing to sign an extension), and get Laine off your team even if you have to dump him.

CBJ had many years of poor management under Davidson and their previous GM. Gonna take time (and luck) to unravel the mess they left behind.

Columbus needs an experienced coach that'll play to their strengths, they also really need the injury bug to stay away for awhile especially to key players.

Sillinger has done nothing.
Maybe if they coud get Johnson going before he asks out.

It’s really embarrassing from a team with a worse outlook and only 6 more points this season

Its all in deployment and structure from coaching. The team is playing to how the coach wants to play his game and more development style than trying to make a system to play to the team's strenghts. For example Severson is badly effected by this. He's a great first pass dman but with the team's current breakout structure you can't take advantage of his ability to take advantage of his stretch passes he was known for in NJ (well really it was blown plays but it wasnt as bad as devils fans made it out to be).

There is talent on this team but the kids are not seasoned enough yet and not playing to the team's strengths. Its a team right now but not a "team". We need someone to come into here and make an identity for Columbus to play its game like Florida did lately. People meme that "could be spooky in a season or two" but I really think Columbus has the potential to have a Canucks style turnaround soon but we just need someone to unlock that potential.

I think his deployment this season in both AHL and NHL makes it pretty clear the org has also come to this conclusion. Even with a clear dearth of centers, they still kept him almost exclusively on the wing.

So much wasted potential on a team that's younger and has a whopping 31 extra games of experience than your Canadiens. At best, you're flat-out wrong; at worst, it's the pot calling the kettle black. Stick to your own team.
