BT seems like a smart cat. I think this team being so fresh out of a rebuild he may have figured doing some light experimenting was worth the gamble. He somewhat caved on goaltending and found a reasonable short term solution. The coaching "off the board" hire and "filling holes from within" to address scoring depth have both failed. You could argue our defensive depth signing and acquisitions were simply coaching ineptitude due to reluctance to try different pairings in different situations.
Hiring an established coach, and trading from our wealth of defensive depth have to be his obvious goals this summer. Experimenting is out of question at this point.
