Lack of leadership and buy-in from the young guys

This is utter nonsense. If the team actually thinks this, who are they referring to?
Gaudreau?
Tkachuk?
Hamilton?
You mean the few players that actually played to their caliber or better this season?
If the team actually thinks this, things are never going to get better. We bring in "character guys" like Brouwer, Stajan, Hamonic, etc., who are supposed to be key leadership pieces (because they certainly haven't benefitted this team anywhere else), yet the team falls apart because players aren't buying in? It seems this is a team built around players who are seen as good locker room guys with intangibles, but they can't do the one thing they are here to do?
It's time to completely re-think this. The problem with this team is that some decision makers value character above skill.
Johnny Gaudreau isn't the problem with this team. Wasting cap space on somebody like Brouwer is.
This is absolutely infuriating.
