The Seney-experiment has to end. He is not an NHL player at this stage of his career.
And trading Henrique wasn't such a smart decision it seems. We filled one hole by digging another, way deeper one. Sure, I know, we made the playoffs, but the fact is: We were 14-6-4 (1.3 points/game) before the trade and 30-23-5 (1.1 points/game) after the deal. So we got worse. And now we're without a 2c and get killed game after game.
This team looks like a total train wreck at this point. Actually, it doesn't even look like a team. More like a bunch of chicken without heads. Something has to change and soon. I guess it'll be the coaching staff that will take a hit now. Do I like it? No, I'd have loved to see Hynes build on last year and take another step forward. Instead, he lost it completely and seems to have no clue. The interviews after these drubbings clearly show it. He sends out the same defensive units time and again. Why did they even recall Yakovlev if they don't play him at all?
One positive note: McLeod is starting to gain confidence in Binghamton, maybe he will turn into something useful after all. Zacha looks exactly the same in Binghamton than in New Jersey. This guy will never be anything more than a warm body. What a waste of a draft pick.
