Peter Laviolette

...this is your guy, Rags fans...he'll whip them into shape in no time...

He’ll never work in this town again. Beyond washed up as a coach

There's clearly a theme with Laviolette and his recent win now-teams falling off. He's always been a coach who gives a spark and has a shorter shelf life, but feels like it's getting worse.

Preds won the Presidents Trophy and never looked the same since. Rangers in that same boat now.

Some vets falling off a cliff, like Subban, Kreider. Johansen and Zibanejad both getting worse during his tenure.

He has been a real Peter Laviolette-down this year

Vets falling off, which is natural as they age. But the young guys, who were higher picks, are either traded away or just aren’t that good. How many top ten picks in the last 6-7 years did the Rangers miss in?

Hopefully they go after Torts and help Philly out...lol

Sure, but the guys I mentioned are all 33 or younger at the time. What makes it weird is they go from being good to awful in a very short span. Could be a coincidence, but eh. I wouldn't be surprised if some guys start taking it easy in the off-season after giving everything they had in a great year under Lavi.

And yeah, it's unfortunate.
