That's a management decision, not just the coach.
Kulak struggled mightily in the preseason so I'm not surprised that Bartkowski started the season. Brodie had to move to the left side because Treliving acquired another right shot defensemen to give the team 3 righties and 3 lefties, so that's clearly a management decision and lastly, the 4th line is currently assembled not by choice. Do you know for a fact that the team's owners and executives are ok with paying 2 players nearly $8 million to sit in Stockton while Lazar gets claimed by another team effectively burning a 2nd round pick on nothing? I think you might need to learn a couple things on NHL decision making before you blame everything one guy.

You cant just point out the things that management may have a hand in and say that means the coach isn't to blame for anything.
Most posters are saying that management isn't without fault either. Doesn't mean the coaching staff isn't falling short.
And then to demean the OP by saying he or she should learn a thing or two about NHL desicion making before blaming one guy? See above for a response to that.
