Sorry folks but, while there's definitely enough blame to go around, I still don't believe the #Preds 
roster is the problem. I think the roster is a bunch of guys trying to do right by the coach and trying to implement whatever it is he wants to do.

Does the roster have an elite super talent like Stamkos, Barkov, Marner or Draisaitl? No. But they have five guys who should be tallying 60+ pts in their sleep. That suggests a balanced attack with depth scoring.
Instead, there's no scoring.

And this isn't the normal "Oh, Forsberg and Duchene are in a slump." There are zero players this season -- and we're 15 games in -- who can be counted on to put the team on their back and will scoring to happen. We've seen flashes of Forsberg and Josi but nothing consistent.
Could it all "click" next week and they go on some incredible 9-1-1 run and get back in this thing? Yes. But are they giving the #Preds fanbase faith that will happen? No.
I think we're all hoping for it though.

Furthermore, we're not talking about guys in the twilights of their careers. Forsberg is 26. Duchene is 29. Granlund is 28. Arvidsson is 27. Johansen is 28. Josi and Ellis are 30. These are all guys in the primes of their careers. They should be having their best seasons.
Bottom line: Poile has done what he can to give this #Preds roster -- especially the top 6 -- players most teams would love to have. That only leaves one part of the equation.
Again, plenty of blame to go around.... but yeah.
God I wish we weren't talking about this.
