When Stafford first broke in he was a guy who could use his body to his advantage. It was evident in his days at North Dakota. When I say edge I don't just mean the physical punch throwing drone that so many people think is completely necessary out of every single NHL player. I mean a player with a specific skill set that is a major asset to any team. Whatever he had, it's not there now. The same can be said about so many other players on this team right now. The vast majority of this team is underperforming. That falls directly on the guy who is supposed to motivate these players and get as much out of them on the ice as possible... the head coach.
Now if Regier fails to realize this and won't make that change, then yes, he should be sent packing as well.
