"What I do know is that this group together is not the formula. You put this group together, highly offensive, $40-some million for 4 guys, and we're supposed to outscore our problems and they're running at 4.8% on the [power play] in the playoffs? 'Well, hold on, we've got to make sure.. these guys are pretty good, we'll try it again,'. Same thing. 'Well, hold on... these guys are REALLY good... run it back again'. SAME FRICKIN THING.
Are we going to do it AGAIN? Or is it proven to you? You need to change the chemistry of this team so it has a different vibe... I promise, if you move Mitch Marner out of there, you're going to change the identity of that team and you're still going to have a lot of unbelievably good pieces, but you're just going to have a different look that maybe is more suited for the playoffs or conducive to getting the chemistry going, because it's not there with this group. It's proven."
