Series isn't all on him but he doesn't seem like a guy who will do whatever it takes. Nobody is signing with Columbus if winning is a priority...their D and goaltending is ridiculously bad, the two things that give a middling team a chance.

Elvis was excellent in the previous 2 seasons...last year he struggled to carry a heavier load. He's only 28 and has lots of prime years to come. Tarasov is a super promising 22 yo, though he had hip surgery middle of last season.
D is definitely a question mark, but they've got some really promising young pieces:
Boqvist
Bean
Jiricek
Mateychuk
Ceulemans
There could easily be a stud and a couple solid middle pair guys in there.
