It's pretty clear this roster has holes but there are few if any perfect rosters in this league.
I like Glen Gulutzan the person so I've been trying hard not to demonize the guy for doing what he thought was best for this team but his vision of how things should be done simply hasn't translated on the ice. While I've never been a fan of the hire I've always tried to remain open minded as my post following last season indicates;
Unfortunately he didn't really seem to learn a lot from his first season with this team as he was steadfast in his square peg in round hole approach and with the bar raised the team actually regressed so there's no doubt in my mind he and his staff has to go regardless of how good you think this roster is.

Yea I've tried to stay neutral and level-headed about it myself, the square peg in round hole approach is really what ultimately grinds my gears...
