Oh and p.s. HF is terrible, first time I went there and what a joke. is it a bunch of kids having a pissing match?

I guess they hope the new GM has a clue about how to build a champion (like he did in Boston) and the new coach will be able to get better performance out of the available talent, like Hartley did for us.
Personally, Chia kind of scares me. For instance, we all know that Hall is a talented but 1 dimensional scoring machine who doesn't play in his own zone or make his teammates a whole lot better. In Boston, Chia was able to turn a guy like that into Tyler Seguin and Dougie. I'm not so impressed with McLellan. After all, in SJ he had a very good, balanced team, but he could never get them to play up to their talent level in the playoffs.
