Coaching matters. Look at Vegas. A good coach changes everything. I don't want to rip this roster to shreds until I see what an established and good coach can do with it.

GG was never a qualified coach. Never won anything in the minors, never won in the NHL. I like Tre but he over analyzed the coaching hire. He interviewed too many people and did too much background checks on GG. GG is a nice guy, and that's why people who worked with him in the past or played with him in the past had nice things to say about him, but that doesn't mean he's a good coach. Tre put too much stock into the positive things people said about GG and overlooked the resume.
