Isn't very possible that Ward also isnt the guy.
Hope to see an upgrade in coach and some new faces on the ice next season.

Yeah, it’d be nice if the issues with the team could be fixed with one move. Whether it was just trading Johnny, or just hiring a new head coach...but the team has a culture issue. That’s not so easy to fix.
I’m fairly baffled that we’ve been as loyal to certain players over the last half decade as we have. This commitment issue, the whole not rising to the occasion - it has been around for Treliving’s entire time as a GM, and it’s becoming even more pronounced as times goes along.
This organization needs a culture shock. Perhaps it comes in the form of removing a part of the leadership group (trading Backlund?), perhaps it comes in the form of hiring an incredibly strong coach (Gallant takes over the room), or perhaps it takes sweeping changes across the board.
This team has been far too conservative for far too long. Complacency has yet again settled in.
