From Frozen Royalty: Lombardi Makes Cryptic Prophesy

"I’m always looking for the next piece," Lombardi said in a recent interview. "We’re right on schedule. I met with the owner back in July. We talked about if he was happy with our record. This is the way I saw it, this is my projection on what we’re going to need to be a contender, if everything came together the way I thought. To get to the next level, these are the three things we need to have."

"So for those things, I’m always on the [lookout]," Lombardi added, even though he would not reveal what those three things were.

Ok, I'll bite. WHAT ARE THE THREE THINGS? (I think I have a pretty good idea.)

I’ll take a stab:

1. Scoring
2. Scoring
3. Scoring

More realistically:

1. keeping the puck out of our net
2. character
3. scoring

Even more realistically:

1. consistent and sometimes game-stealing Goalie
2a. “drive to the net” sort of player who can make a difference, esp. in the playoffs
2b. player(s) with deep playoff experience
3. a reliable finisher/elite scorer/game breaker/stud forward

I can picture 1 and 2a/2b currently in the fold. Not 3, obviously.

(I hope you’ll forgive me for resisting the inclusion of Juraj “Next Piece” Mikus.)
