What can they even change? The coach is five games into an 8-year contract. The "change" will be an overage player moved out which will have minimal impact on the ice, aside from less of a chance of stealing one if it is in fact Sztuska dealt.

They could add a forward or two to give the team a chance but can't pay too much from the future when they're still two years away from serious contention.

Won’t be any change. The only change has to be the players playing better. Need to see some type of improvement from last year some guys haven’t even scored yet

Ya unfortunately there is not really any changes that can be made. They are locked into hoping some of these kids actually figure it out don't see it happening this year. Tired of seeing so much uninspired hockey. Taylor is basically unplayable right now. McCallum has cleaned it up but since then his effort has also seemed to drop significantly. Addy and young are usually complete non factors. Even someone like strohack just looks like he is coasting out there while we need him to make an impact physically. Only chance of a win this weekend is if one of the goalies win us a 2-1 or 1-0 game

This team is built around Addy, Taylor, Cameron and Young they are all the key building blocks the teams success will depend on how they develop

Anyone thinks it’s odd they got Sztuska new goalie equipment if they have to trade him in a month?

I am starting to think they may keep him as their third overage. Who is out amongst the forwards if that happens, I don’t know? I don’t think it is Jonathan Melee though.

Mind boggling they’d have marentette playing forward and cadorin scratched. 2 themes I’m seeing last 2 years is taking too many penalties while also being near the bottom in powerplay goals. Powerplay hasn’t looked good through 5 games so far and wasn’t good at all last year

The power play has looked awful for years. Even when they were loaded with talent it didn't look great (I'd have to look into the numbers to be sure). They could certainly use a LOT of PP work.
