I don’t think it’s his system. This is a transition year, we just started out really hot. We have a chance to regroup in the offseason with significant cap space.
This team needs to stay pat at the TDL. Do not give anything away. We are 2 top 6 players away and an entire 3rd pair away from competing for a SC. Not to mention the questionable and unreliable goaltending. The system we play is keeping us in the picture in the regular season. It will get ugly in the playoffs with this lineup. Regroup in the offseason.
I can already predict what’s going to happen. Pyotr will keep us in the game, we will have 10+ grade A chances failing to convert on any of them. We will give up a PP goal in the 3rd and then an empty netter to lose 3-0
Anyways, I do think while funny, this is an intriguing hire. It’s either going to be a categorically historic flop, or UNC is going to be a consistently competitive football program. If I was a UNC fan, I would probably be excited.
A good draft could turn the team around by itself. Couple that with a competent free agency overhaul and this team could realistically approach double digit wins next year. Our strength of schedule should be easy.
