Big change meaning top four?
I'd love to see Shanahan gone. Tre hasn't done anything particularly bad yet.
No, we can safely say he is an upgrade on Keefe. Keefe couldn't adjust.
Tre isn't bad but a new Pres may have some super Gm, his guy. We are talking losing first round again. It's already old.
The debate is, is Berube a better coach for us? I can count the number of times Keefe adjusted. It was zero. Teams marvelled at our refusal to adjust. So did O Reilly.
Let me keep this simple. Keefe blew chunks. Berube is an upgrade. He won't coddle the top 4.
Yup. And unless the team goes deep this year or following it will go down as a historically terrible playoff team. They have won one round with this team. That’s pathetic.
Wrong you ignored the facts out of convenience to support your slant. Boston twice and OReilly spoke about it.
We missed out best compete window when our GM handed out UFA contracts to RFA players and now those players don't work together for success and they fail while consuming the largest Cap Space contracts in the NHL. Its a terrible position for our new GM to inherit but there will be walk away options next year to force desired change...
It’s a nice pipe dream but I don’t see it
He had an opportunity to trade the third best player, but only for a month when he first arrived. That window closed quickly. I hope he doesn't re-sign him next summer when his contract ends, unless it's for a much more reasonable amount.
We're likely to lose first or second round again this year, but there's really not too much that can be done until the two bad contracts end next summer.
He changed lines and systems (and usually went right back to what didn't work), but that isn't the same as adjusting.
Im not doing the research for you, since you are clearly lazy and unwilling to learn.
The best example is how he took a highly skilled offensive regular season squad and made them an obsessively defensive squad in the playoffs, thereby nullifying their natural advantage. That was an adjustment....the wrong one.
Nothing devastating yet, but he’s signed some bad contracts with bad term. If Nylander floats through the rest of his contract…..it could be very bad.
They aren't ever blowing it up. Whether fans like it or not, Marner will be resigned. They are going to ride this group until they win or they miss the playoffs. The latter is the only scenario under which I see one of these guys getting traded.
Unfortunately, as we all saw, some of the changes worked, but for some reason he went back to what wasn't working.
