The new coaches new system meme seems to be popular on CP this season. Don't recall hearing it much, if at all, in previous seasons.
If players typically took a full season to adapt to new coaches, any GM would have to be an idiot to make a deadline trade. The truth is most players adapt quickly. Versteeg is new to the team and he's having a good season. Chiasson is bringing pretty much what was expected of him. Stone doesn't seem to be lost on a new team with a new partner. Then there's Tkachuk.
