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.
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.
I would love for Sztutska to stay as he may steal a game or 2 for us this season but I still don't see a world where that happens. We have hardly any OHL caliber forwards on this team. We just cannot afford to trade any of them. Guys like Parish, Levac, Patridge, and I would argue even Faulkner do not belong on the ice and some of them are already getting line 2 ice time!! Sztutska is clearly better than Bowen but Bowen has been far from the problem in his starts he is a capable goalie. We do not have many capable forwards.

I am actually a big fan of Levac and Parish and that is a sentiment I have been hearing a lot of so far. They’ve already earned this ice time bump as the vets and 2nd year guys have been flat. I think there is a lot to like Levac especially as an ‘08. Levac and Parish over Faulkner and Partridge every day of the week
I'm definitely liking Parish so far. Haven't noticed Levac much, to be honest. Parish reminds me a bit of Page, especially early on in Page's tenure.
Okay, so even during the 2023 title run, the PP was 10.6%. So...they (coaches) clearly have no clue how to run a PP, even when they are winning.
