It's a bad system, just like it was last season. The change to zone defence is clearly a work in progress, but more importantly the offence is exactly the same. It's bad.

It’s the same system Tkachuk, Gaudreau and even Toffoli worked with. The system isn’t bad, it’s just some players aren’t built to play this kind of hockey. Fans always complain that their teams are easy to play against and that they’re not built for playoff hockey.
So management built a team that could play playoff style hockey and hired a no nonsense playoff style coach who everyone turned against. Now we want to go backwards and play a style that’s unsuitable for playoff hockey spearheaded by a guy whose points drop precipitously once the calendar flips over? Florida sure as heck didn’t miss that guy when they cruised to the Stanley Cup finals last season.
