The famous “man-to-man” defensive system has been heavily criticized because, clearly, it didn't seem to be working. However, the arrival of Derek Lalonde as Martin St-Louis's assistant could change the dynamic of the defensive system. However, based on what McCagg reported, Lalonde isn't necessarily going to completely eliminate “man-to-man” coverage, but rather implement a hybrid system combining “man-to-man” and zone coverage. McCagg also mentioned that St. Louis and Lalonde have relatively similar defensive systems, but it's mainly the fact that Lalonde is very experienced that could bring stability in this area. when he's at îLESONIQ Youppi!
