I like what Gulutzan has to say a lot. All of his concerns so far were our biggest issues. Repeatedly losing the puck because the forwards aren't creating passing lanes.
Passing lanes give dmen more options and the opposition has a way bigger angle to cut off so the transition is much easier. Ice opens up in the neutral zone when there are multiple passing lanes instead of the forwards just rushing straight up the ice.
I despised the stretch passes and the quick chipping it up the boards by the dmen especially Wideman and Engelland.
