Thats so true, 2 games might not mean much but they have to pick a lane. A bigger disaster than finishing dead last would be to play just good enough to finish 21st overall (thus drafting 11th)

We need MB to go. A trademark of his teams (and coaches), has been to play passively and focus on getting the puck out of the zone by any means, normally by chipping it into the neutral zone blindly off the boards.
That leads to forwards cheating towards the blue line and pucks being sent around the boards, that are picked off easily by forecheckers and pinching D.

Similar story with the power play, which has been stagnant for years. Static positioning and predictable pick movement.

These seem to be elements that Bergevin encourages or prefers, despite overwhelming evidence against their success. He's the only constant throughout that period, with multiple coaches and management having taken the fall.
There's been some player shuffling which has provided us different tools and can allow us to be more dynamic and aggressive, but they aren't being used to their full potential. They aren't allowed to be creative or take risks, so we aren't seeing all the rewards they can offer.
