too early to judge, but I do not like this immobility at all.
Again, it's a two-way street. No GMs are really making huge moves. The last major deal around the league was the Vatanen/Henrique deal at the end of November. After that, it's basically been minor roster moves and "change of scenery" deals.
Francis could make those, or call up some guys from the minors, but when it gets down to it, the odds that will make much of a difference seems slim.
On paper, the team should be better than they are. Why that hasn't translated to the ice is the million dollar question, but ultimately, it's up to the players and/or the coach to make it work.
