My unpopular opinion is that the problems are vastly exaggerated. Essentially the same roster was really good last season, and while that was likely a bit anomalous, this is just as anomalous. This is a solid playoff threat roster playing well below their level. This too shall pass. Knee-jerk reactions won't help anything.
We should splurge on a genuine top coach though. Not because this is a "tough team to coach", but because all Canadian cities are extremely difficult places to coach. So much attention, so much pressure.
