You take out Stamkos and Kuch and we're way ahead in regards to talent level. It's a matter of playing to their potential and not sacrificing their skill in order to play a certain way. Play to the players strengths and we're really well off.

It just doesn't work like that in the real world, though. Hartley's possession number were terrible because they focused on their speed and stretch passes. Gully's system focuses on puck possession, control, and zone entries, which compromises speed. Trying to blend these things together is going to leave you with a team with no identity, kinda like Arizona.

I'm sure there are ways for coaches to work on their strategies so they don't compromise too much speed for possession. There have been many games this year, and even last year, where we have had majority of the possession throughout the game but have looked bad and lost.
Tre didn't bring in GG to give up speed and have possession, but to transition that speed with the possession game. And I just don't see it, it always feels like something is missing with his system. His system just doesn't feel complete.
