What should have happened that offseason was they should not have overreacted and threw the balance of the team off by getting rid of all our secondary scoring to bring in another big ticket d-man.
If the re-build was going to start early, it should have started the next season after they missed the playoffs for the first time.

That was a great team...you look at that team, and your right. It was an amazing team if not for the playoff injuries that derailed them. They had to gamble and felt jokinen was the missing piece; and he did have a great playoff series against the hawks. Keenan knew how to utilize jokinen...a ppg pace while Keenan was coaching him.
Sutter did very well for a long time, but the jaybo signing and sutter hiring was the beginning of the end. They lost cammy and later found out jokienen and iggy had no chemistry under Brent Sutter. Jaybo and Phaneuf also didnt work well with Brent. When phaneuf was traded to find a player for Iggy (stajan) it didn't work because Brent was an awful coach. Instead of trading Dion, Daryl should have come back to the bench.
