This isn’t complicated. Find a coach that brings excitement and a bit of fun to the rink. A coach that actually tries to bring out the best in the roster they have instead of a coach that dogmatically rams a stifling system down the players’ throats, refuses to adapt when results aren’t realized, forces elite players to play out of their natural positions and then dumps all over them when his system proves ineffective. We need a coach that is part of the management team who will actively work with the GM and hockey ops. We need a coach that doesn’t actually drive management and players away. Once we have that, Huberdeau, Khadri and the rest will be just fine. I know Conroy understands all of this and the coach he hires will also understand all of that.
