#1 thing Verbeek needs to address in the offseason

IMO penalties should be first
This is low on the priority list. Rookies and young players tend to struggle in faceoff circle. Penalties need to be addressed way more.
Pretty sure bergeron and crosby got better at this over time. We dont need to sign anyone that wins FO and nothing else (think vermette or glendenning)
There are plenty of issues on this team that need addressed. Faceoffs aren’t the biggest issue now and the kids will improve overtime. This team needs a more structured transition and offensive game. A more structured and consistent game should help mitigate a good bulk of the problems we witnessed this year.
Faceoffs are part of the reason the rangers were willing to let Strome walk. That and his inability to hit an open net. Dude has been in the league 12 seasons and has never cracked 50%.
