Before we get back to the players, we're going to be focusing on how the coaches of the team did in a two part series. First up for evaluation is the team's overall 5-on-5 play.
Before the start of the 2014-2015 NHL season, one thing that I constantly harped upon was finding a coach that would develop or utilize a system that highlighted the team's strengths, and resulted in a positive shot attempt differential.
Gerard Gallant's 5-on-5 system in his first year behind the Florida Panthers bench did both of those things, and though he may have made some questionable roster decisions, it's hard to be upset with how he handled himself and his team for the majority of the season.
