People blaming the two time Stanley Cup winning coach after a handful of games in a Covid shortened season with a core that doesn't work. Edgy.
We were all happy when they brought Sutter in to see if this core would fold, and to the surprise of no one they have. Trade them off for players who give a Damn and it will be addition by subtraction even if the new players aren't flashy.
We aren't going to acquire a McDavid or Mackinnon without a major tank and a whole lotta luck so the best chance this team has is to play with structure and play hard every night. The laziness of this core is on full display against teams like Ottawa.
Is Treliving the guy to trust to make these trades? I don't think so, but also don't see him getting canned so I am just hoping he is not scared of "losing" a trade on paper and we don't have another season with this current dud of a team. CP will probably melt down over the return on these guys but the time has come to move on and try a different approach with Darryl at the helm. If it doesn't work under Sutters current contract then it's time to blow it up.
