Fair, but at the end of the day these players have to play the system the coaches implement (or lack thereof). I know Brunnette’s PP was nothing to write home about last season, but as an “associate coach” he probably had a big hand in that. He sure has the a much lunch talented Preds team playing well.
Is he supposed to coach himself? When a guy like Marino even takes a massive step back under these coaches I don’t know what people expect out of a rookie.
I will continue to disagree with this. It’s his decision making with the puck, and his ineffectiveness on the PP that’s the biggest problem, imo. I actually think he’s been mostly fine as a defender.
