There is a reason the "whole team" has quit on the coach. Something must have happened; We saw this last season and even in the playoffs, the team just had no will, or desire to move forward. I think consistency is important especially when coaching is concerned but if the coaches have lost the entire room trading for new players won't make any difference. I recall Backlund when interviewed a few years ago talking about coaching consistency, yet even he doesn't seem to be giving much of an effort.
We can talk about 2, or 3 players but it is obviously more than that, it is the whole team. That is concerning.

I think the answers lie somewhere in here.
I can't help but think that winning the West and then getting owned by Colorado had a negative impact on the entire team.
Nobody had answers then and because no significant changes were made to the roster or coaching or by the looks of it even on-ice style, my thinking is they've lost the will and drive to turn on the Jets. Add on that frustration of some of these guys and you have a colossal ship to turn around...
It's like we've become stale and nobody has the answer. I don't even see anyone on here with much reasonable suggestions lol.
I'm not blaming anyone in particular because the whole team from GM down plays a part.
You just have to hope they collectively make it out of this. Increases the value of a few guys to deal them in that case as well.
