I see no evidence for this. As a fellow bystander, there is nothing obvious in how the team plays, how they interact the coaches, what the coaches say in public to indicate one way or another whether the issue is coaching. It could be, but given the history that this group has with previous coaches I suspect more than likely the problems start with the players.

Could very well be the players, but it's also the type of coach been hired for the past while. As great as Treliving is as a GM, save a few deals, his coaching decisions have been more or less the same type of coach. I do think a guy like Trotz is in order with this type of team. Look at Babcock who is very much the same as Peters. These guys with a fairly young team seem to want to be too hard with them and it's a delicate line. Surely you could probably do that a bit with more established teams who have more vets, but to do that to young millionaires is an easy way to lose them. Players talk and get annoyed at moronic bosses. I don't think in hockey culture this is considered enough, but you have to look at the make up of your team and see what's best. For a young team, I don't think that type of "leadership" is ideal.
