Sure, Brad put a lot into finding the new coach but ultimately its on GG and his staff to deliver. This is Brad's first coach pick. Maybe next time he'll take the proven guy instead of whatever the heck GG is.

Brad is a long term guy. He will learn a lot from this and I would hate to see him take those learnings and build a better team somewhere else.
LOL on paper this is a 20-30 place team at best. The results the past two seasons under two different coaches kind of prove that. This is a bad hockey team and in a lot of ways mirrors the late 90's young guns teams that had some players that went on to have pretty good careers like Iginla, Savard, Stillman, Morris, Lydman, Regehr, Bure, etc. Lots of young paper talent but not mature and poorly coached. It's going to take a couple more years until the team is a playoff team on the ice and paper.
