Idk what is left in that cupboard on offense. Volkov is too inconsistent. Joseph needs to get his head out of his ass. I don't mind Vergahae and Stephens as 4th liners because they don't hurt us. After that Syracuse has nothing left to offer except AHL players and not ready prospects.
I'm wanting to see a trade for 3rd line center so Pacquette can go back to 4th line duties.

Agree about Volkov. He's not that noticeable. I think we know what we have with him at this point - much like Joseph, although Joseph has had more games to prove himself.
Joseph is just an energy 4th-liner and will likely never be more than that. He has stone hands and will continue to frustrate on the scoresheet.
Verhaghae-mouse has grown on me. Him and Stephens make a good hustle-duo. They remind me a little of early Palat and Johnson but with less scoring touch. They thrive off each other and play well together.
I'd like to see Barre-Boulet or whatever his name is get another look. Maybe Gemel Smith as well.
