Quoting: KingExLeafs
Not trying to make the playoffs also isn't smart. Dorion needs to make a bet on his team.
They don't need scoring, they need to be better at preventing goals against at 5v5, which would also result in more production (when you don`t chase the puck and/or have good transition systems, you spend more time attacking)
It's going to be hard to make the playoffs with this coaching staff anyway. They can't instill 2-way hockey systems to save their lives. The team sale took too long unfortunately
If I invested a billion in the team (and another one later for the downtown arena project), I would have made it mandatory that Dorion be replaced right away

So they will do it
Well, I have pretty much been against 80% of Dorion moves since the beginning. I could talk about it for a while.
- I really liked Brassard as a player but giving up Zibanejad was infuriating. Plus a 2nd...
- Didn't mind acquiring Burrows but was like wtf with the extension
I could go on and on
Last year, I was totally against trading Nick Paul and Connor Brown to have the space to go after DeBrincat when the real NEED was a Top RHD. And also Gustavsson for Talbot lmao
