That's more or less what I was alluding to with the above comment...

Only 1 of the GM moves made sense, trading injury prone Erik Cole h/e they didn't get the right players back. In any event, they have no scoring offense. There's Staal, Brind'Amour (who's a playmaker rather than scorer) and Whitney, who's turned in a good season so far, but no one else....
