From the article. Interesting:

One of the knocks against him in Dallas was his in-game decision making. He struggled to read and react as the game unfolded in front of him and that eventually cost him the room. Has he addressed that glaring issue sufficiently during his years as an assistant? And has he learned to build a bridge with veterans? His success in Calgary will rely heavily on the buy-in of players like Mark Giordano, Matt Stajan and Michael Frolik. Can he get them onside?
Remarkable bit of proof that Gulutzan just doesn't get it.

Not only has he not improved on his previously perceived inability to read and react as the game progresses but he went too far in the other direction so far as building a bridge with his veterans. Relies on some of them too much you could say.

I would argue that he has in fact lost the room. They may never say it, but their play does.

Again, not trying to pump Flamesnation's tires but the 3 part series they did on why GG should be let go is tremendously informative especially regarding his last year in Dallas and how it compares to this past year in Calgary.
