The world is different and people need to adapt especially leaders. He has millennial kids so he might be able to form relationships with them a bit easier but it's still hit or miss but I think with 2000 kids coming into the league he will have hard time with the new batch of kids.
We saw it with Vali his play was terrible but we don't know what was said behind closed doors etc and he comes out and says he needed some positive reinforcement.
You can call someone out but embarrassing people in the public usually doesn't work anymore. Telling your players to put on dresses may have worked in 2004 but it's 2023 now you need to change.

Positive reinforcement got Valamaki all the way to fringe NHLer on the worst team in the league!
