Description
Hire Boudreau NOW. Do not wait until offseason, better jobs will be available. Get him in ASAP and let him "test drive" this team and see what can happen. Stop bringing in first time coaches, this team needs an experienced coach desperately. I think this lineup is very balanced as well. The only piece i am unsure of is whether Quinn will be on the team next season or not.

    I like adding Bernier, Iafallo and Benn but you still lack one top 4 LD man before I can take this group seriously. But this is definitely better than what they currently have

    I think Dahlin is that man. I know he has been very bad this year but ever since Krueger came in he has regressed offensively and defensively. He is not playing loose anymore and Krueger's system has not allowed him to carry the puck or join the rush. I think it all comes down to him overthinking and worrying about making a defensive mistake and those mistakes are happening. I think a new coach will let him loose and play how he plays. You don't see a coach trying to tame Makar, Hughes, etc. You let those offensive dmen do what they do

    My point is that if Dahlin goes down, well you can't just rely on Benn and Bryson lol

    I see where you're coming from tho, and I do agree he'll vastly improve with a new coach but yeah

    Btw I made a mistake, I wrote «Brodie» instead of «Benn» in my original comment lmao. I corrected it
