1) Bring in a proven, elite coach (Boudreau)

2) Let this core play out the 20-21 season since it's likely hard to make substantial changes mid-pandemic (kind of proven since no real trades happened this offseason)

3) Depending on how the season goes assess who needs to stay or who should go with Boudreau as the long term coach for this team

Honestly I still don't think we know at this point if the problem is coaching, or if its Monahan, or Gaudreau, or Gio, or Tkachuk, or a combination of multiple things. But bringing in a proven coach with a history of getting the most out of his teams (in the regular season at least) would have provided more clarity into what changes the team really needed to make to this roster.

Especially with the goaltender position solidified.

See,,,this i dont get.

You want the team to do well in playoffs right? And you want an experienced coach to do that......have you seen Boudreaus playoff record? It aint pretty.
