I feel like you're not being intellectually honest here, to borrow a phrase.
All of the team's best players are exceeding last year's output. Tkachuk is roughly a point per game over his last 30 or so, dougie leads the league in goals from defenders, Monahan is 12th in the league in goals and Gaudreau is 6th in points. Backlund only has 5 less points than this time last year.
Just who is it that the coaches were going to will to score more? Lomberg? Tanner Glass? Troy Brouwer? Garnet Hathway? Travis Hamonic?
The team makeup is woeful.
If the GM says out loud he's concerned about where goals are going to come from, and then the team struggles to score goals, is that the coach's problem? Shouldn't the GM, who acquired 0 goal scoring support save a 45 year old non-training camp has been bear some, if not the vast, vast majority, of the blame for that?

He should of traded for a goal scorer instead of Hamonic. We were fine with what we had. I really question Treliving's ability if he thought that was the best use of our picks to put us over the edge. It really blew up in his face.
We have stockpiles of good young D prospects and basically ONE good forward prospect. What the heck was he even thinking. Give a spot to Andersson and spend the picks on a RW Sniper with a heavy one timer so we can have a decent PP threat. We didn't need another D man. We needed to push Backlund and/or Frolik down to the third line. They are tasked with two jobs and it shows in our lack of scoring depth, they are a 3rd line shut down group and a second line scoring group.
Its easy to see what needs fixed. Pretty much all of Treliving's trades outside of Hamilton I haven't been impressed with.
