Cronin has been an asst coach in the NHL before.
1999-2003 NYI
2011-2014 Toronto
2014-2018 NYI

He's been a head coach at the NCAA (Maine and Northeaster) and at the AHL (for NYI and Colorado).

Cronin isn't completely new to the coaching gig. So, yes, you can judge him harshly and see if he can improve next season. The only thing I liked about Cronin is his ES defense, but dunno if that's due to his coaching or roster improvement.

Well aware of his past. But HC is different than assistant and NHL is different than AHL. We've seen numerous HCs who were good at AHL jot be able to succeed in the NHL and same with highly touted assistants not cutting it as HC. There is still a learning curve, different set of responsibilities.

All I'm saying is I'm reserving my criticism until the guy has an offseason to reflect, make changes and hope for a healthier season.
