What's wrong with Ottawa? And please don't say the Coach. Alfie would make a great head coach I think just promote Alfie.
They have a good young team lots of good young players, but there not doing well out West at all I haven't been watching but just seeing the boxscores the next day. (Calgary tomorrow night)

(Calgary tomorrow night) I think it's just a combination of things, goaltending has been below average and even terrible at times, their D doesn't seem ready to take the next step, and the forward core isn't gelling together. It's looking very similar to Buffalo, the pieces are in place but just isn't working in the win column. I wouldn't be surprised if they make some sort of hockey trade. Trade a good young guy for another teams good young guy just to shake things up a bit.

Toronto seems to have no plan for 22 year old Robertson who would be a good add for Ottawa send a big Maratime kid Zack MacEwen 17 RW R 6′4″ 240 Jul 8, 1996 Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, CAN
and Ridley Greig

(Calgary tomorrow night) They're too young and simply not good enough. Look at who is ahead of them just in their own division. They don't have the high end talent performing at a consistently high level like Toronto, Tampa, Boston or Florida have. And they also lack the 1 thing that would make up for how young and inexperienced the team is which is superb goaltending

And they also lack the 1 thing that would make up for how young and inexperienced the team is which is superb goaltending They have more depth than 3 of the 4 teams listed The goaltending has been poor..... but there is no reason they should still be floundering like they are I expect a shakeup in terms of a hockey trade .... likely after the season as these moves rarely happen in season anymore probably see one of their young forwards and or d moved to change the locker room culture sorta thing (Chabot? Norris? Batherson?)

Once you hit the bottom it's quite hard to climb back out regardless of high skill. Winning is a culture and not something that is easy to learn. Team culture and leadership is hard to just bring in. Very often, the GM that starts the rebuilt is rarely still there to see the fruits...Dorion is yet another who won,t.
