And out of that comes rolling 4 lines, easing rookies in, not adjusting to a risky offensive style when down, all things that are maddening when looked at through the fan lens. But there is a reason to operate this way, and it is 100% organizational. When you call for a different coach for these reasons, you're really asking for a whole new hockey ops team.
I'm not saying it will work for sure, but these guys still have quite a bit of slack with me.
If they were to dramatise losses like some do here, including you at this very second, this team's mental strength would be terrible.

This team is trading away picks to win now. That to me says they are results driven.
The problem is, they are operating out of some strange lens where they need to keep testing PTO's and waiver players.
That's great if you're willing to give them slack. I just don't agree they are rebuilding and focused on developing players primarily. Bennett would still be at center if they didn't care about results.
