Lewykid

Krueger is not a bad person. The players really liked and respected him. But he was arrogant in thinking his international tournament system would work in a full NHL season. When it became clear it wasn't working, he refused to change. Adams and the Pegulas were also too trusting in Ralph. He should have been confronted or fired much earlier. This lost season is another gift from Jason "Botterkill" who almost destroyed this franchise, and the Pegulas trying to be cheap and hire Adams, a completely inexperienced GM who let Ralph lead him and the Pegulas by around by the nose until it was too late.
