Two moves that I think are absolutely necessary to cut out the rot:
1. Coaching is a huge part of team leadership, removing the current coach would be the single biggest change possible.
2. Brouwer is a bad player, a bad on-ice leader, and is wearing an "A". Buy him out, and transition the "A" to Tkachuk.
It's somewhere to start.

I don't think whoever wears the "C" or "A" has any impact on team performance and is highly overrated by fans. We don't know what type of leaders these guys are in the dressing room so it's merely an internal reward to the off-ice leaders, given by people in the know. If Tkachuk is such a great leader then I imagine he's vocal in the dressing room already. Having an "A" on his jersey won't change anything and will do nothing to actually help us next year (aside from pleasing fans).
