Rob Kerr just had a great metaphor. He thinks this is "coaching porridge". Hartley was "too hot", Gulutzan "too cold", and the thought is Peters might be "just right" in terms of a mix.

How much was that coaching vs roster construction/players? You can try to implement a system to try to play fast, but if the majority of the team is a 6 or 7 on the speed scale vs the opposition who deploys mostly 8’s or 9’s, then you’re not going to be able to play faster.
This team doesn’t have any real burners. Gaudreau might be the closest and we gave up Byron who absolutely was. But like Treliving said, the style of play is going to be similar and in my opinion, it’s all going to come down to what Treliving does from here till game 1. We need better right shooting forwards in the worst way and that should be priority #1.
