Better coaching. I know people like to pile on Torts but when he has decent talent to work with he gets his teams playing a disciplined style of hockey and he's a bit of a disciplinarian which is what young teams need at times yet he's a player's coach in that he sticks up for his guys. The coach doesn't have to be a drill sergeant like Hartley but the players need to learn that freelancing is unacceptable. It seems like Gulutzan is such the opposite of Hartley that the players have totally relaxed as they are the most undisciplined team in the league by far, their efforts vary widely from night to night, and the lack of focus is evident.
