Curious you singled that out. Why not look at Granato past the 18-game losing streak? And BTW Donny has been coaching his entire life too. He's no less experienced than any first time NHL coach.
... Granato gets a full camp to install his system. He fixes Skinner's scoring slump. The kids take a step. Eichel, who has yet to be traded, buys into Granato. Dahlin goes nuts. Ullmark bounces back.
I have a friend who worked in Michigan athletics years ago but still knows people inside. Calls Power a diva and puts the odds of him signing with the Sabres at 50/50. Just passing what was told to me.
