Who's to say they haven't done exactly that? How can we know whether its more on the coaches preparation or on a guy like Gaudreau for not listening/adapting? Hockey is an instinctual game. You seem to think its as easy as telling someone but when you hit the ice there's less thinking and more reacting.
I mean Ward did drop Gaudreau down to the Lucic/Ryan line a couple times already. Seems like he's tried to hold him accountable for his garbage play at times.
We don't have the information to know what the real issue is. Hopefully Treliving does. You suspect the coaches aren't preparing enough. I suspect Gaudreau is complacent and isn't working hard at being the best he can. It's all conjecture at this point.
It will be interesting to see what Treliving does in regards to both the coaching and with Gaudreau this offseason.
