The current UVA team looks a lot like the teams they had the last few years under Starsia save this current team has more O firepower. Faceoff an Goalie are good not great, D is bad (SSDM's are really bad) and while the top 6 can play with anyone there isn't much in the way depth outside of the starters though UVA is apparently trying to run the second mid line a little more this year. They have all but abandoned the run and gun style Lars implemented when he first got there. I have watched a majority of their last two games and SU has run just as much as they have. Unless its a fast break via a turnover or quick break out they look like any other team. If your a UVA fan I can understand the frustration because this team should be built to win now as they lose Conrad after this year and then a boatload the following year when Kraus, Aitken, Conners, Schwenk and others graduate.  Not sure what the answer is for them, lots of O talent at least on paper but it seems some of the newer guy are struggling to breakthrough for PT and Lars is having to rely on mostly Starsias old recruits to carry the load. Guys like Appelt and Harris and others haven't been able to push for PT. There offense is going to win them some games alone and Schwenk Lasalla is a real nice 1-2 punch at X, but they have major issues on D that I don't think they can answer.
