Personally I would love to see what a different set of eyes could do with the team before accepting another 2-4 years of bottom feeding non-playoff hockey rebuild. It might be coming either way, but I would really like to see one last shot with this core to see if someone can get them playing.
Exactly. I don't think anyone is suggesting or has every really suggested that firing the coach is the cure-all. It's just the first step in turning things around and really identifying the areas of issue on the roster and just how bad they really are. With the team as it is, with every line seemingly having the same issues - and those issues having being present since the beginning of Carlyle's tenure - it's hard to really separate how much of it is systems and how much of it is talent.
