I think that's a fair assessment.

We know that Rick Tocchet was the beginning of OEL's fall off as a top pairing guy so we're going to give Hughes to him? In hopes of what?

I get that Boudreau isn't the answer. I don't like how it's being handled but that's another story. He's got structure issues and is using a system that does not work for this group on the defensive side of the puck. But is flipping to a guy on the exact opposite side of that spectrum who is known for snuffing out player's joy of the game and has had absolutely no tangible success the right idea?
