I agree, this is true.
But to be fair, if the biggest headscratchers and complaints involve fourth line wingers, then we're pretty good.
Back in the Gulutzan days the entire lineup made no sense. And there was no sign of improvement.
Pretty much all coaches have their perks. It's about how well they can adjust and optimize.
