Watching some of Gulutzan’s coaching seminars a lot of what he says makes complete sense. He comes across as a smart and innovative guy. Man, did he ever make some baffling decisions while he was here though. I think he lacked that “tone setter” mentality that a head coach needs too. He’s better suited in an assistant role.

You have to have the hockey IQ, but you also have to be comfortable with limited NHL experience taking control of the room and telling professionals what to do.
I think that's where he struggled.
