Bylsma Will Hopefully Be New And Improved

Before reading any further, give an honest answer to this question: Do you want a coach who trusts his best players to use their abilities, think less on the ice and just read and react, or would you prefer a sophisticated system requiring them to process a lot of information on the fly?

If you chose the first option, perhaps you can understand my one big concern about Dan Bylsma.

When the Sabres announced the hiring of their new head coach yesterday, did they introduce a man with an unchanged mentality from when he lost a frustrated locker room in Pittsburgh, or someone who has progressed with the times and changed for the better?

Is Bylsma going to let promising youngsters like Jack Eichel, Rasmus Ristolainen and Zemgus Girgensons use their natural talent to help them find their maximum upside, or will he overthink the game and drag his players into an abyss of analysis paralysis?

He's not going to make Eichel play a dump-and-chase game, right?
