(I actually think Brent Sutter would be a good coach to have for a team just starting a rebuild...He was completely lost with veterans, but he has shown an ability to work well with younger players)

Eakins is garbage. The guy can't line match to save his life, he can't implement a system to save his life. He won a championship in the AHL because he had a extremely veteran team that knew how to play the game.
Eakins might be efficient in that scenario in the NHL, but lets stop blowing sunshine up his butt. He's a pretty boy coach, but he's a disaster as a coach at an NHL level.
