I predict that Cameron will only last to the end of the season as the coach. The organization said it isn't interim to avoid a million questions from the media about who they are looking at, but given that this will likely be Murray's last season due to his health issues, they'll likely wait on hiring a long-term coach to allow the new GM to get "his guy".
The added bonus is that this will drive Leaf Nation crazy as that team is equally mediocre to Ottawa, but you couldn't get Carlyle off that bench with a stick of dynamite. I think those morons probably gave him a 3 year extension after the 4 game win streak.
The dream scenario for Sens fans would be to hire Babcock as GM/coach in the off season, as Leaf Nation seems convinced he is dying to go to Toronto. Won't happen, but it is a nice thought...
