I like to compare this to the leafs a few years ago when marner, kapanen, mathews, gardiner, et al first came up on that team. That first playoff series they had you looked at them play and were like, "wow, these guys are going to be legit in a few years".
Anyone feel that way watching our team? I don't.
Anyone think that mitch marner, kasperi kapanen, and auston mathews are better sum total during that time than kakko, lafreniere, fox, and miller? I don't either.
I wasn't on the fire quinn train but I don't think there's any other train to be on at this time. We have the personnel to be performing well above our current bar, and if we're not doing that, we have the personnel to develop on the ice, today. We're not doing that either. That's a coaching problem, and before we throw away what should be extremely valuable time, we need to get the right personnel behind the bench.
