For Nevada and being second in the SMJHL I would say that we need a few more older players to really put us ahead and to fix our problems. If you look at the defenseman who mainly play in the top 4 we are all plus players. The second pairing is a bit higher than the first because the first does play time with the 4th line forward as well. Something that is a weakness for us is having a lack of depth of older forwards. Granted this is a hard problem to get by because we are only in our second season as a franchise. What I would possibly do would be look to trade one of our 425's now for one 350 and a younger play (and possible picks) this allows us to bolster our roster for next season as we look to compete more with now most likely all of our defenseman being over the 425 mark and being capped at the highest possible cap. At this point other than trading picks there really isn't much we can do to fix getting over the proverbial hump that we find ourselves stuck behind unfortunately
