Coaching is a serious problem.

I'm glad MSL is mixing up the lines. I think there may be some better chemistry that he can find that can help the team. If Slaf and Dach can become a duo, along with Cole and Suzuki, plus the bottom six has the Evans line going, and then you get the Newhook-Armia duo that did well last year, that could be 4 decent lines.

Just need to fill in Kapanen, Heineman, and Dvo with which of those duos they have the most chemistry.

MSL's lines at practice:

Caufield-Suzuki-Heineman
Anderson-Evans-Gallagher
Slafkovsky-Dach-Kapanen
Armia-Newhook-Dvorak

Unless Gallagher can pot one it looks like an easy shutout for Charlie.

Matheson’s value has skyrocketed because he was the only offensive defenceman on the team last year and put up points. He’s always been shit defensively. Mailloux is horrible, why bring him up? Barron stinks too. Savard has regressed, that much is obvious. He’s certainly not better. Xhekaj has become worse, he’s even too scared to be an enforcer now. Guhle is the only one that looks good but he’s just simply the smartest and most talented one.

I have to say this is an improvement over declaring regressions for entire d corps. Matheson clearly made a significant jump in performance. He's now an asset that can be moved for 1st rounder ++. The fact Mailloux is on the team has nothing to do with MSL. That is entirely up to the GM. Savard is older, and struggled this season, but he had a good season last year under MSL. Xhekaj was always a project. A young sixth D has been entrusted the role of protecting our team. That's a huge responsibility. Who else is there to fill that role? That's on MSL? So really, it seems to me that you're just plain frustrated we're already not in the playoffs in spite of being second youngest team in league with a number of key injuries, and that you've chosen to manage that frustration by generalizing and finding an easy culprit.

Lol he should be the assistant coach

We can go for a Waddell / Tulsky dynamic where Waddell is the mouthpiece and Tulsky creates the game plan and analytics.

Yeah I was wondering why he seemed to have abandoned his "duos" concept so far this season.
