Montoyo definitely seems like one of those old head coach/manager types where he falls in love with terrible players and it's up to the front office to take those toys away from him.
It's like when Claude Julien insisted on playing Greg Campbell 15 minutes a night when he was a) never that good to begin with and B) after his nasty leg injury.
He's done fine this year imo outside of the Panik affixation. Took away all the garbage toys like Yamaguchi, Fisher and Gaviglio and now he's putting out good players most of the time
