They need a coach that can leverage those strengths. Play a fast up tempo possession game that leverages skill and use the whole ice.
Players without the puck need to play smarter

This team is playing a similar system though. Why else would Ward have been hired, he clearly shared the same philosophy as Peters. They check hard, they pinch hard, they’re aggressive in their pursuit for offense. They don’t sit around and trap all day.
Is the current system the right one though? That’s a better question. This actually falls more on Treliving in my opinion, it’s his vision, he chose the players, he chose the coach that would play the system he envisioned. Everyone is sort of a puzzle piece in the grand scheme of things and Brad Treliving unfortunately brought the wrong puzzle to the party. It’s too difficult and no one is having fun.
