Is this a serious post? They went 17 games straight recording a point. Only people to blame is dorion for not giving them wolanin and balcers for the run and players like Logan Brown going ice cold down the stretch.I am not too impressed that Troy failed to get them firing on all cylinders

You can bring a horse to water.... Brown had 1 goal in his last 18 games. Look no further than that, if your first line center produces like that down the stretch you wont win.Yes, t’was serious.
Something was not right in the last three or four games.
They needed to adjust.

I wouldn't blame Mann either. The guys that were carrying them stopped producing.. Brown seemed to be nursing something. Paul was sick at least for the last two.. Batherson stopped scoring, Chlapik wasn't doing much.. They missed Wolanin quite a bit and Balcers as well. Two key cogs that turned the wheel down there.
They lost it and for whatever reason never got it back. If the big guns stop firing and those were what got you as far as you've come and you don't have the horse behind them , not much you can do.
Their PK wasn't good most of the year... that's an area I think we can look at the coaching staff for improvements.
Choking is about getting too keyed up.. Usually when you choke you look like you are out to lunch. Could be it part of it with some of these guys.. Its hard to explain and find a definitive answer. Look at Tampa Bay ,,, they were missing a couple D but other than in small dribs and drabs they were not the same team..Lots of people are pointing at the coach because its an easy answer to a question to which there are no easy answers.I had a conversation about this today at lunch, and I heard the same point as you are making. Maybe I am being to critical because I am disappointed. I just find it hard to believe that they couldn't be more fired up for the final 3.
They came within two pts of making the playoffs even with all the diversity in this org this past yr which was a pipe dream earlier in the yr. Speaking of pipe, I wonder if they will introduce the bong as an after game relaxer to reduce stress in athletes who play major sports in Canada & some States? There were also 14 other teams that didn't make the playoffs in the AHL in their conference & some with a much worse record.I wouldn't blame Mann either.

He's the best along with Brannstrom, but for a team as bad as we are, I do think our prospect pool sometimes gets overrated. It's deep, but lacking star power.
I’m not about to get ahead of myself, but next year is going to be monumental in the direction this team is heading
Depends what happens over the summer training-wise, but I would be starting Brown and Formenton in the NHL and then send down if necessaryI just hope that they dont rush any prospects. Browns finish to the season tells me he isnt ready. I hope formenton also gets serious time down there.

I think you make good points, I just don't see the harm in letting them start the year in Ottawa to show where they're at compared to NHLers. I am wondering, what do you mean by increasing how soon the team has to give raises?Howcome? I dont see how that helps in their development whatsoever. Will also increase how soon the team has to give them raises. The team shouldnt be actively trying to compete for a playoff spot, those guys should be getting 20 minutes a game at this point in their development. Formenton got hurt this year and had an underwhelming season and Brown was horrible down the stretch.

I'm not against your idea at all, it's more of a wait and see situation for me. I think the roster spots should go to whoever shows the best in camp. Then if they are overwhelmed or not playing much in the NHL, send them down after a few weeks.Well they likely dont have as much of a proven track record if they play less time in the NHL thus not having to pay them as much. I dont agree with this angle personally all I care about is their development but I cant help but think that perhaps Melnyk thinks this way.
