How do you determine that?
Lindholm proved he is not an elite #1 centre.
Markstrom proved he is not an elite #1 goalie.
There is no elite #1 defenceman.
How is this team built to win?
Putting a rookie head coach into a dressing that just chewed up and shutout Darryl Sutter is not a good spot to put a promising rookie coach in.
You know how you set a promising rookie head coach up for success? Announce a rebuild, tear it down, and allow the coach to grow with the team and build it back up.
