Are we really that desperate to give Gulutzan credit for something that his 50 points last season paired with Gio is being trotted out?
This is not some kind of massive step change here.
And you see how Brodie dropped off, while Dougie is marginally better, playing every game with a Norris conversation worthy partner.
What are we giving all of the credit for again? A player meeting but not exceeding expectations, while another drops off a cliff.

As I said in my lose post, virtually everyone on the roster who's played with both Hartley and Gulutzan's team has had career highs in the last 2 seasons under GG.
I actually liked Hartley and was hoping he got to play out his last year, but let's be real here, we allowed 260 goals that season under Bob? That was the worst in the entire NHL with a bullet. If you want to give Gulutzan any credit, it's that he has at very least, cleaned up the goals allowed without butchering the offensive output.
