There's plenty of smart people that will defend Gulutzan for a multitude of reasons and plenty of them make sense. He's a bright, personable, energetic guy. Personally, I can't help but feel dejected by the entire situation. i just don't think he has the ability to help prepare this group to play. This team too often looks unprepared, disjointed and disinterested. When was the last time they absolutely outworked and opponent? The talent on paper is not showing up on the ice.
Since his arrival young, talented players like Bennett and Brodie have taken massive steps backwards and the "best top 6 in the league" has looked horrible. If not for superb goaltending to start this season we are somewhere between Edmonton and Buffalo in the standings.
