Agree, but this isn't exclusively on Cronin. He was hired and is being supported by Verbeek. Much grace needs to be given to young players who aren't producing points. Comparing Carlsson or others point totals to guys on other teams is useless. This system if focused on defending and suppresses offense. Saying Mintyukov and others are "slumping" isn't accurate. They are handcuffed by usage and this defense first system. Who knows if this will work but this is the plan. Implemented by Cronin, endorsed by Verbeek.
