It's absolutely the systems in my opinion. The same group over the previous two seasons under Martin Gelinas executed at 17%-18% which was about league average. This season, the team is operating at almost half that and are easily the worst. There's virtually no scoring chances created when they're out there and almost no momentum gained either.
This team is tracking to have the worst powerplay from any team since the lockout. Literally, any changes made will be an improvement because they couldn't possibly be any worse than it is right now.
