Granted, there are holes in this roster. But I don't think the coach has maximized the fitting of the system with the talents of the players. We play slow. We should involve the D more. Maybe some sort of cross between Hartley's and GG's system??? And then the PP ... ugh .... I've hated the player utilization since way back in November.
I also think that for whatever reason, our younger roster needs a firm father figure type of coach, not a player's coach, despite what I perceive is a great Captain in Giordano. And, these coaches have been mediocre (or outright bad) at their previous NHL stops as well.
If it were my call, they would all have been fired back before Christmas....

I don't agree they play slow, or that the system is completely flawed. But I do hate some deployment, the powerplay and have to agree with you in the bolded part.
The team is fragile, they won't stay on task when they give up a goal. If leadership can't solve that in the existing roster its too expensive and unlikely to find that with a trade.
Much easier to replace the coach.
Or ...
Force said coach to fire his assistants and hire an experienced staff with a clear option to replace him mid season next year if they don't bounce back.
