It's about hiring a coach who fits the profile, and restricting to experienced head chokes is a problem because you're pulling from such a small talent pool. We already know a guy like Carlyle doesn't fit the profile. Even a guy like Dineen, you can find reports of him getting tuned out in Florida so what's to say he's not boom or bust?
If he hires Green, he's going to pick Shinkaruk's brain on him.
If he hires Leaman, likewise with Jankowski and company.

I took a look at what Kevin Dineen had to coach when he was the Panthers coach. He somehow made the playoffs with an aged bad veteran team with only one guy above 60 points. The next season the Panthers were really bad, with a 19 year Huberdeau as the 2nd point getter, and Drew Shore (yes that Drew Shore that could not crack a rebuilding Flames lineup) playing as a 21 year old centre for almost the full season. Shawn Matthias (yes that Shawn Matthias) was 5th in scoring for crying out loud.
The guy is good, and has surely picked up a lot, and played a part in the Blackhawks success. He would be my pick now that Boudreau is gone.
