Can't blame the GM because of rinse and repeat or something. I guess he is executing some brilliant strategy for team building that we haven't seen before and just need to let it play out for another several years.
We can blame the players, especially Gaudreau, well because it's pretty clear they are playing horribly. So there's that I guess.
I actually think a quality NHL coach who has a track record of success would get this team into the playoffs and maybe even win a round or two. And wouldn't cost a single draft pick.

I’m with you I think the GM and coaching are more to blame than anything.
Treliving has not built this team to be balanced enough as the talent is all on one side of the ice. We have no top 9 RWers on this team and he needed to address that a long time ago.
The coaching is making some puzzling decisions but it’s on the GM again to hire the right guy for the job.
Maybe it’s on ownership but they need a proven winner to lead these guys. They need leadership, not young less experienced coaches.
Everyone wants to blame certain players but I think it’s an organizational problem.
Hopefully they aren’t too cheap or shortsighted to actually fix things.
