How people say this lineup has so much talent to be where they are in the standings even with O'Reilly in the lineup is perplexing. Two of our best 3 forwards are in their 2nd years, 8 of the forwards we can count on basically no offense each game, except maybe Gionta who is on the downside of his career. Jake McCabe is their 2nd best D man right now but he isn't a #2 Dman, Josh Gorges is an aging 5-6 D, Justin Falk is a minor leaguer or a #7, Cody Franson is a 5-6 and Bogo is a top 4 when he is healthy. The goalies, coach and the few pieces of the core might actually be the bright spots.
