Fully agree with the comments. The question that has to be asked though is why trade for a highly offensive rental if you want a defensive player? You trade for someone for what they bring to the team. You do not in 3 months try to change them.
As to the players, if DC wants players that play a style, then Boyd should be drafting players that play in that system or are willing to learn.
If a coach is going to waste the first-round pick for a year, then you either need to trade him or have his parents realize that he will play in the CCHL for the first year. You also need a coach who can develop players, if not as head coach, then as an assistant.
I would like to know why he has a shelf life of 4 years with any team. It seems that he is not capable of developing a program.
Does anyone know how many players he developed that went to the NHL.
Regarding Shelf life of four years, in fairness, he was two years in the Sault and then moved up to the AHL as an assistant. Then he was four years with st Mike’s where he won 8 playoff rounds and then moved up to the AHL as a head coach for three years. Then he went back to St Mike’s for four years where he won another six playoff rounds and moved to the NHL for 8 years. So, you can’t criticize a guy for “only” being in the OHL for four years twice and two years once when they are moving UP to the pro leagues.
