I don't think Trotz is the problem. He managed to put together a team that won the Presidents Trophy last year: only a good coach manages that, especially when you consider that just two seasons earlier we didn't even make the playoffs. The problem is his gameplan relies on key offensive players being able to produce - I don't know why Kuzy and Bura and Williams and Chimmers stopped producing, but that's what killed us in the playoffs, and what's killing us now. Guys on here lament Trotz for not trying new ideas to get offense restarted, like put Ovi and Kuzy together, or pair Orlov with Carlson, and then when Trotz does that and it achieves nothing they lament him further. In an interview with Isabelle Khurshudyan Kuzy have the impression his slump was because he stopped enjoying the game, and finds it hard to let go of bad play and move forwards. That's the kind of psychological mind field even the best coaches are unlikely to correct - and it'll likely be down to Kuzy and preferably a great sports psychologist to overcome it.
