- 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.

Well his tone was definitely that he wants to turn this team around quickly, and doesn't want to manage a team that's going to be losing. Just the comments about how it's not fun when the team isn't winning, and that since he's been "at the top" as he put it, he wants to get back to the Cup every year.
