""Individually, we're meeting with every player and going over their year and the things they need to improve upon. We'll get into the team stuff with a lot of the guys, too.""
""Goals against. In that regard, how much of an impact did Chris Tanev's absence have defensively? Well, it is an impact, for sure. He is a core guy back there who takes pride and is very good at shutting other teams down and keeping goals out of your net.""
""Yeah, it's on me. It's on everybody. We didn't perform at the level we needed to get back into the playoffs.""
""Yes. No, I haven't heard anything about that. It's the same as you guys have heard. When a new GM gets hired, they'll make a decision.""
Head coach Craig Berube addressed the team's struggles during the season and his uncertain future. He emphasized the importance of individual meetings with players to discuss improvements. Berube acknowledged the team's decline in performance, attributing it to goals against and the impact of injuries, particularly Chris Tanev's absence. He accepted responsibility for not maximizing the team's talent and expressed hope to return next season, although he noted that decisions would be made by the new GM. Berube remains open to discussions about incorporating data and AI in future strategies.
