I think the starting point is to fundamentally alter the way the organization runs. Step 1 would be to hire people who are independently brilliant and really interested in hockey. Being a former player or coach or front office person would not be a requirement. Then, instruct your hirees to audit how the team operates and determine why the team isn’t successful. Instruct them to figure out the optimal way to run a team, regardless how “it’s always been done.” Then, follow through with a play that accords with this vision.
