Of all the names that have been dropped, Burke (first) and Campbell appear to be the most qualified for the job. I'd rather have either of those than bringing in Nieuwendyk or MacInnis simply because they played for us.

Both Nieuwendyk (not a fan) and MacInnis have experience in team management.
Does Campbell have any? Shanahan had none. I am guessing that any position for which Shanahan was qualified, Niewy and Al would be
more qualified for (unless it was some kind of league liaison role).
