This is where I am at, but I am also not convinced that a better, or more expensive coach is going to yield significantly better results. So much of what I see going wrong in the games has to do with a lot of really poor decision making by the players from one moment to the next. It is not an especially mentally-strong group; they seem to get very easily flustered and thrown off their game.
The powerplay is a prime example of this right now: It was lights-out to start the season, and featured a bunch of really creative and effective new looks. For the last few games it has looked awful. So, we know that the coaches can put together a dynamic powerplay and the players can execute it. Right now it looks like they are overthinking everything.
