There is no salary cap for a coach. Make them an offer they can't refuse FFS

Agree 100%. You see a valued coach like Trotz (not available I know, just giving an example) do so much with a team like the Islanders. Yes they have Barzal, but past that not a team of superstars to work with. Structure, structure, structure. And they are poised to eliminate the capitals. Spend the damn money on a coach.
I see the flashes of brilliance when lindy, gaudreau and monahan are fully activated. Then add in what we are seeing from the dube, lucic and bennett line this playoffs. Add in chucky at his best, backlund, eatbread. Imagine a coach who could harness that.
If we just sucked and had not talent, so be it. Rebuild. But knowing the pieces could be there to go on a run and yet seeing these poor efforts to start a pivotal playoff game is so frustrating. Underachieving is so ****** frustrating.
