This thing starts at the top with Katz and his horrid hirings. Can definately smell Lowe and MacT behind the scenes. The franchise is going nowhere unless the fans somehow demand a new owner which will never happen. Might as well trade McDavid and co now and blow this whole thing to shreds. Cannot ruin the best Talent since Lemiuex. I cannot think of a worse run team in any sport the last 10 years.

At least Eakins kinda looked like he was doing something on the bench aside from chewing gum

You can actually see Perron think “what the hell is he talking about”

It's really on the coach to get more out of the awesome roster Chia has built. Lucic, Benning, Kassian, Talbot, Strome, ... what a Dream Team.

Todd has not been able to harness the awesome power of Chia's tremendous roster adds.
Todd has had his share of issues.
He had the option of scratching all the names you listed but chose not to. Not pulling Talbot tonight and leaving Looch on the top line last night are some of his bad moves. There are numerous others including how he dealt with Puljujarvi, Bouchard etc

Scratching them for who? Good luck scratching the GM's prized signature franchise addition.

Yeah, at this pace he'll get a raise and the GM position in no time. Chia is on pace to be the super ultimate starlord of hockey, impressive stuff.

Its only in Edmonton where you had a team playing half decent in the strike shortened year, players liking their coach (Ralph Kruger), and players actually gelling. Things were looking up. What do they do? Fire Kruger for Super Boy Dallas Eakins. Eakins comes in, completely destroys the team and is mercifully let go in his 2nd year. They then hire Todd Nelson who has the team playing well again, seems like a likable coach, and things seem to be trending up. They really trend up when they win the lotto and get McJesus. So they then fire Nelson and go hire another Todd. Now this Todd was lucky enough to be with Detroit as an Assistant in the Dynasty years but couldn't take a very good SJ team to the next level. They were even up 3-0.
I'm confused

Puljujarvi makes a mistake, benched for accountability!
Talbot lets in 4 goals on 11 shots! Kept in the whole game and bleeds even more goals. Shove an accountability stick up your ass, Todd.

Lucic makes a giveaway in the neutral zone, continues to play the entire game like nothing happened. To Todd, accountability only exists for rookies and 4th liners.
