Well, definitely the most interesting things for me that Jay touched on were:

- They're looking not only at NCAA free agents, but ALSO at European free agents.
- They want to talk to some coaches who are currently employed by other NHL clubs (assuming he's talking about assistant coaches).
- Having a head coach at the draft table is not imperative.
- They have to free up cap space in order to take a run at big name free agents (i.e., Brad Richards). Almost seems like he's willing to trade some big cap guys to maybe take a run at Parise/Suter? Maybe I'm blowing what he said out of proportion, but to me that's what it sounds like.

Interesting stuff for sure.
