Proves my earlier post. The guys isn't soft and weak. He sure as poop appears to be though to the public.

Just because he is mild mannered in the public doesn't mean a thing

This is the issue with tanking

We got the player we wanted but there is no accountability anywhere

They are soft not the coach

Lack of leadership

Not sure I want to debate the merits of tanking, but I'm a realist to the core, so I'll say this.

The tank was a success. It got us a franchise player. We also had a GM that completely bungled the entire process of rebuilding. It's that simple. This team did a poor job of bringing in strong winners and drafting well. Amongst a myriad of other personnel issues. So now we wait and hope Jbotts knows what the (frank) he's doing.

Kane probably should have been the move 10 games in.

Erod hurt to start the season hurt us. He has 18p in 38g now. Not great, but infinitely better than Moulson, Crisco, Griffith, Gus, Larsson, Nolan and even Josefson. Wilson helped stabilize that group of terrible players, too. Bailey and Baptiste would have helped.

The bottom six was a dumpster fire early on. I think they've identified some guys going forward.

Bailey-Erod-Batiste
Wilson-Gus/Josefson/UFA-Pominville

Thats better than the above bolded.

Now they have to figure out who the hell is gonna play on the left side in the top-2 lines.

This is a long-winded way of saying the bottom six was an absolute tire fire. he's improved it marginally, which is a worthy use of an asset imo. It would be nice if they took him out of the top-6, but they can't yet.

probably, but moving Kane is not the shake up that was needed, as clearly seen by recent play

they need a real locker room shake up

it would be amazing, considering we've never won one before. Won't debate the feelings for you, but just keep in mind, don't assume Dahlin = Cup.
