Paul Jerrard could be part of the problem. Instead of fire GG, can you add a Larry Robinson type figure to manage the blue line? He was instrumental in some of what you see in SJ. Burns, Vlasic flourished. Two totally different players that blossomed.
A retired defensemen that was known for two way play? Where is Scott Niedermeyer (ducks probably)? Timonen? Hamrlik?
