I don't think so. The problems started long before he got here. The team lost its mojo after Darryl moved to take over GM duties and we hired Jim Playfair...Then Keenan. By the time Brent got here the team was broken and the writing was beginning to appear on the wall. Not even Scotty Bowman could have turned those guys around IMO.
