I have faith in Steve Yzerman and Jon Cooper, but recent decisions are also making me doubt.
I'm a firm believer in the Yzerplan. In the long run, it will work out. But recently, I've started to have some doubts about some of the thought processes and moves. General Manager Steve Yzerman's job is to provide head coach Jon Cooper with the best roster and roster composition he can to fit what Cooper thinks will help win. That translates to preference for a certain number of players like Valtteri Filppula, Ryan Callahan, Alex Killorn and Erik Condra on the front end that play defensively responsible hockey.
