I don't know if Tocchet is part of the problem or not. One thing is clear, however, he absolutely has no solution whatsoever for the problem.
That's been my take. I think the larger problem is the roster makeup. I don't know what anyone could do with these no-heart losers.
But Tocc is clearly not the answer either. It also would have been easier to fire the coach and hope for a spark than trade everyone approaching the deadline.
The fact Chayka couldn't read the neon-lit tea leaves doesn't inspire confidence. Doubling down by keeping the coach and doing nothing at the deadline was worse.
Either way, I'll be happy when I don't have to watch a dejected, hopeless head coach repeatedly saying, "I don't know" and begging players to show up for once.
