Fair or not, and I do not see it as fair, my guess is Lamoriello will fire Lane Lambert. He walked out after the teams first scrimmage in September, and his first two words were "Too Slow". He knew day one, and that's how it's gone as so many forwards are poor defensively, on the boards, backchecking, and frankly most of them are even scoring below their 2022-23 norms which in some cases were terrible. Despite Dobson being last season/first half again carring the offense/powerplay this year for now, old has gotten much older shorthanded as #44,15,17,53,21,27 are beaten all over the ice and I don't see them clearing waivers.
Expecting a major change
