The likeliest scenario all along was that MB would look for incremental gains to supply the missing offence, rather than risk gutting the core or the future trying to go for a blockbuster deal. 'Incremental gains' mean getting more PP production, increased offensive push from young players like Beaulieu and Galchenyuk, and adding a mid-range UFA exactly like Frolik. This isn't glamorous or sexy, but (frankly) it's exactly what I would do with a team that is knocking on the door and only needs to raise its scoring a notch. Many fans want Zoot Suit to risk everything and swing for the fences on some sort of all-or-nothing gamble. I wonder if they run their own lives and careers that way? And I wonder how forgiving they'd be if the big risk failed to pan out?
