If you had Darryl Sutter head coaching with Glen assisting him we'd create something really elite with this team, imo. Darryl would be the top quality "You're going to play your ass off for me every night and won't let you forget that" guy, and Glen would be the "good cop" coach who could be himself with the players (I get the sense that he really despises being the bad guy to the players) by giving them that guy they feel they could talk to and work things out with.

The big problem is that there's almost no way a new coach, Sutter included, would keep a senior assistant coach. Edmonton is the only team that did something similar, to spectacularly bad results.
