Flawless possibly but we play in a 10 team division so not much need after a while. It can't be that hard of a job to employ someone full time to do, get a decent assistant in to support the in ice side of it and am sure they would be capable of watching a video of Coventry danger men and how to play against them for the 100th time
Do you really believe that teams' tactics don't change at all over the counter of a season? Do you think that only opponents are being analysed? Analytics are a huge part of the modern game. Stood at ice level it's virtually impossible to take in everything that's going on in a match. This is why video is captured from a higher level and we have people with different vantage points to analyse as games progress.

An assistant coach can have many roles. What happens at game time is the tip of the iceberg. Sometimes a coach needs someone to watch specific aspects at game time. Genuine question: What is it that that you feel is needed in the role of assistant that we're lacking?

100% agree and the last two Coventry away games have been classic examples of the genre - first game McNulty ran us ragged and Coventry's trap got us more and more frustrated. Second game we had a clear game plan to deal with McNulty (which culminated with his fight with Busch that was borne out of frustration) and also with their tactics. We switched play at speed and played more on the break. The result was a win and great credit to whoever devised the plan to nullify McNulty. I have no idea if King is good, bad or indifferent but it's absolutely imperative that we have someone who is an expert at analysis
