I think saying that the team is making obvious bad decisions is an oversimplification and opinion rather than statement of fact.
Frolik, Ryan, Jankowski are all unable to really drive offense. So while having Ryan on the 2nd PP isn't ideal, I don't know that Frolik or Janko is really an upgrade.
One can debate if Neal should continue to get ice-time over Frolik I suppose but getting him going and playing to his historic levels has more upside than what Frolik can do.


The coaching staff allocates time and assignments based on what they think gives them the best chance to win. So referring to those calls as "obvious bad decisions" doesn't seem logical. They may not be decisions you agree with- and that's fine- but there is a rationale behind them that is sound.
