Couple of things I'll add from his interview today.
Top players need to play especially during critical points. Too many times he looked down with is down a goal and wondered why aren't top players on the ice.
Not having a captain bugged him a lot. It's starting to bug me now because it may have been a reason why Tkachuk left with Sutter needing to be the captain.
He talked about the strategy using Wolf's waiver status in using all 3 goalies.
Creating a environment that is fun but about hard work and winning makes things fun.
The more he talks about changing things up the more it seems like Treliving leaving was the best thing to happen.
Also love the structure in our end and free wheeling with the puck and be creative and do things you do in practice. That team looked miserable last year.
