Not sure I'd hang this season entirely on the GM. Going younger given their core makes sense, ... hell in Calgary people complain if they don't go young. The big issue there seems to be leadership.
You have core players going UFA and it seems to have taken away from the team's focus. The need to take needless penalties is party coaching, but seems to come down to leadership as well. Clearly players don't feel any internal pressure for playing undisciplined, team comes second hockey.
