While the Domi trade has worked out this is what I don't like about letting a bad coach stay too long that picks players to play "his" style and then they fire him and you're left with that trash.Pretty weird to fire Julien when you built a mediocre D outside of Petry and spent more money shoring up wing when you already were fine there.

Hex and Burkie need to figure their shit out too.
Claude isn't a bad coach. He's just one that is getting phased out with his style. It's bizarre to me that Torts is still finding a way to not get fired. But the Babcocks, Therriens, Juliens, etc that love the old school method even if they got results, don't last long and Claude mostly lasted because of what you stated, the underlying numbers were good but not good enough for the young talent he has on forward.I mean, Julien isn’t a bad coach. That team has been the best 5v5 team for two years now.
Given the roster quality that’s impressive.
Maybe having like 20+ mil tied up in Weber, Price, Chairot and Edmundson is the issue. Or the GM that has been there forever.

I like Suzuki and Kotka. Also What's his face, Caulfield?What young talent? Suzuki and Romanov are really good. Aside from that the roster is a bunch of 25+ wingers.

The owner might just be scared of Marc's gun show.Step 1: Overachieve
Step 2: Expectations Grow
Step 3: Return to what should be reasonably expected out of an unbalanced roster without elite offensive talents
Step 4: Get fired for results that generally align with the quality of the roster
Habs fans have been vocal of late...but they're always vocal about how management is the only thing preventing them from being the powerhouse that they used to be and not, you know, that the league has completely changed.
He's in their pipeline. But I mean it's not good for sure. Also not horrific. That Domi trade turned out fantastic. The Drouin trade is one I just think Bergy f***ed up and allowed his coach to dictate that deal and acted like it was needed.Kafka is solid, but he isn’t an elite talent.
Caulfield isn’t with their roster..

It's more or less a type that they needed vs what they had a lot of and it's worked out is the point. Josh is a powerforward type that they've been unsuccessfully trying to draft and develop basically since they traded away John Leclair.Did it go fantastic? I mean he's been good in stretches. But that deal is looking kind of like Matheson's.
8 of his 12 points come from games against Vancouver and Ottawa.
