The roster is fine, everyone, fans, media, experts thought this was a contending roster at the beginning of the season.
Many posters here have seen a poor system going back to last year. These are good players and a good roster, it is underperforming.
The team is young and needs a general, a leader, no disrespect to Giordano. They need a leader who has done it all before, someone who can flash his Stanley Cup ring around and tell the players "Don't fret, don't panic, I got this".
This team needs a motivator and a leader, that is Darryl Sutter.
You don't need to wait for the Summer. Vigneault is not a better coach than Sutter, Sutter has out coached him at every opportunity. Quenville is on par with Sutter, but he may not be available and it's not always best to hire a guy who just recently got fired, sometimes coaches need a little time off to reflect, which is what Sutter has.'
Other than Vigneault and Quenneville, there are only two other coaches who have a better or equal resume than Sutter, and they are Sullivan and Babcock, and they won't be available.
There's no reason to wait anymore, just fire GG and bring in Sutter and see if he can create a late season miracle' and if not, then at least give Sutter a running start for next season. Tre over analyzed the coaching hire with GG, he needs to just do the simple thing and hire the best coach available.
It was obvious to so many that GG is not a good coach. He's a strategist, a thinker, but he's not a leader. To use his term, he's never been "in the guts of the game", so he can't deal with NHL situations. He doesn't understand momentum and he doesn't know how to motivate players or get them focused. These are all things that Sutter excels at.
There's nothing more to think about or analyze Tre, just fire GG already and hire Sutter.
