I think that’s a significant change in the leadership group. I just wonder if it would be enough...

Losing Smith to injury was the turning point in the season. Team never recovered after that continued on a downward descent to missing the playoffs.

Not much change from Hartleys team... it’s not the players. They have shown that they can be a no quit team.  Tkachuk and Smith as additions only add to that.

Team was horrible right after the Bye week. Smith included. 
That was the turning point for this season, 5 freaking days off.

The players are soft. The coach is bad but these guys just aren’t very good.  Or tough.  You can’t lay everything on coaching.  The talent and toughness just don’t there.
