"Sven, what are you interactions with Hartley like? How many 1on1 meetings have you had? What has Bob told you specifically to improve? Did Bob talk to you as to the reason why you were scratched?"

I did find it interesting that when the Edmonton media asked Yakupov how much interaction and feedback he had from Eakins, his response was "not much". While Yakupov does have a part of play for the debacle in Edmonton, there is plenty of stink to go around.
Even if we hold the media accountable in siphoning out more information, the Yakupov example isn't exactly a prime one to use here. "Not much" is just as shrouded as "3 zones". We just aren't going to get an in-depth explanation and description of what is going on behind the scenes.

Could the media probe deeper? Sure. Are we likely to get anything of substance out of? I would wager probably not.
