And each and every one of the players is fluid - they can be better or worse, depending on utilization, confidence, line-mates, etc. So much, much more difficult to ascertain, and requiring a much larger data set to determine.

I think we have enough data to tell us that this group isn't going to win a Cup. So I would go about the business of changing that. Re-tool or re-build. I would do the latter but suspect it will be the former, which will probably lead to the latter.
But that's difficult to do in-season, and more difficult this season.
So I also don't see the downside in changing the coach.
If it were up to me I would change the coach now and then try to change the roster (mainly the forward group) in the offseason
As I said the other day.
I love the goalie
I like the D
I don't like the forwards
And i don't like the Coach
