is this reverse psychology? because I don't really buy that it's beneficial for them to lose at this point...being just on the outside of the playoffs isn't going to help them much draft wise...and if they flame it out isn't guaranteed that they'll fire Carlyle
And firing Carlyle isn't any guarantee that the team will improve anyways.
It can't get much worse. Unless a new coach breaks the goalies' legs or something.
Sure it could. We could get a coach that doesn't have time for error prone rookies, or one that wants to use guys from the farm a to more, and we could take a major step backwards before it turns back around.
Using the guys from the farm a ton more - I don't know what that means. That's a negative for some reason? Any new coach is still going to be relying on the same offensive guys (Kessel/JVR the main ones). We could also get a coach who doesn't have time for knuckle-dragging 4th lines. Or plodding defensemen. Or that doesn't have time for traditional medicine and wants every player on the Atkins diet. You could do this forever.
You haven't said how those things you said would be a 'major step backwards.'
I didn't phrase that the best way. A coach that decides he wants to have prospects learn on the fly instead of gradually allowing them to learn the game at the NHL level is what I meant to say.
