Darryl doesn't want to completely overhaul the system because that transition period in itself could cost us a playoff spot.
That doesn't mean the system they'll ultimately be playing is the one he'd prefer for them to play.
It's simply what he has to work with, and he needs quick buy-in.
I've always thought of
systems as players being "on a string". If X goes to A, Y knows to go to B, and Z knows to go to C. That takes time. It's about where to be ready, where to expect others to be, all that.
But basic principles?
Sutter has time to at least get this team playing a tighter checking game, and I do expect that, even within the limitations of Ward's systems.
I am 100% confident that come training camp next season, the systems
will be revamped however.
