Wondering where the hate is coming from other than a fear of him liking analytics and structure reminding people of Gulutzan.
Just curious, I'm not about to start praising this potential move until I learn more so just want to know where the hate is comingfrom

The biggest concern I see is that his teams have finished, respectively, 29th, 28th, 20th, 28th in shooting percentage. For reference the teams in the playoffs this year finished:
Tampa - 1st
Washington - 2nd
Colorado - 3rd
Winnipeg - 4th
Toronto - 5th
Minnesota - 6th
Vegas - 8th
Nashville - 9th
Boston - 10th
Pittsburgh - 11th
Philadelphia - 12th
Anaheim - 13th
L.A. - 14th
New Jersey - 15th
San Jose - 16th
Columbus - 22nd
So is SH% a
controllable factor or not? Because New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets were the only outliers to miss/make the playoffs.
