Looking at Chiarelli's trade record, it ain't that great but you have to consider he was with a top team that was willing to overpay because their time was now. His hiring is the first step to changing the team culture and hiring an experienced hard nosed NHL coach should be his next priority. Give it some time to see who buys in to the new culture and who doesn't before making any big moves and in the meanwhile try to pick up some journeymen vets to round out the roster. They aren't going to win anything next season anyways so IMO I'd take it slow before making any drastic moves.

If the Blues lose to the Wild, Hitchcock, amongst others may be available.
