- At least 1 more puck-moving defenseman of the veteran ilk - the blue is too young and inexperienced too
- Consistency
- Belanger to figure out how to handle a puck in the O-zone

- The kids to step up, except for Maggie they have - big time

- A 4-line that doesn't get killed every time they're on the ice, they're getting murdered
