Lavi first. I like that Holmgren didn't blow up the team this off-season and only had so much to work with without doing anything stupid. I like the first two draft choices a lot too. Some of Holmgren's big mistakes are definitely a part of Snider's doing. I like Lavi but he doesn't seem to adjust well to the opposition, though he can only do so much with the players he's given. It just gets tiresome to watch the team come out flat every single game. That "comeback kid" thing we had in 2011 was a lot of fun to watch but it doesn't work in the long-run, like the playoffs. All of that being said, I'm not sure who would be a good replacement as head coach (I don't really want one of the assistant coaches stepping in) and I have Homer on the hot seat as well. He got a few decent pieces this off-season but not necessarily what we needed, but there also weren't a lot of options. I honestly think this team's success is going to heavily depend on how B. Schenn and Couturier play/develop. Now is about the time that everybody was expecting them produce and Couturier was pretty awful last season and was a defensive liability. I don't want either one traded because they're both so young and have shown flashes of their brilliance.
