Part of the problem I think with having a rookie coach who is older in age is leadership to support him. Gio and Lucic are there but there really seems to be a disconnect between the young guys and the management. If they go the older vet coach again, they must must must bring in a credible leader on the top two lines who can bridge the relationship between management and players. I’m thinking a guy like Getzlaf or Staal. But the current group has no credible leadership from what I can see.
