It might be healthier for the team to flame out this year to get the core changes needed that they won’t make it we re-run a 2nd or 3rd place division finish with an early playoff exit.
We have another coach that is trying to take the skill off a team and play meat/potato hockey. This team isn’t built for that. Moreover to do this - it means special teams have to be through the roof to capitalize on chances to get offense.
Btw, it’s amazing how bad our PP is at spacing to be able to move the puck through the PK box. Just pass it around the outside and with some bad shot selection mixed in. Of course the first time we break the box with a pass - Nylander scores.
