Give him a worthwhile roster, and he'll do very well.
For at least the first half of last season, I thought we were in every game- even when the score was lopsided.

He deployed a terrible system. He has a smaller skilled group playing a North/South game. Outside perimeter and point shots with no traffic in front as well. That is not to mention really mind boggling decisions like using Hunt as an extra attacker with the goalie pulled. I have also heard that he went above Savard on the PP a lot and those two didn't get along. Near the end of the year Savard got more freedom to run things the way he wanted and the PO vastly improved, I think Toronto will have the next best PP next to Edmonton this upcoming year, maybe better. I guess if the goal is to be a bottom three team in the league next year he is definitely a keeper as head coach for now.
