After that, Feaster hired his guy and this latest choice for GG, I do know he' came on the cheap, due to lack of track record. But do we actually think that was a money thing, or was that BT wanting to try a younger "new age" coach, which if I recall, many on here wanted him to go in that direction versus spending big dough on an "old school coach" who the game had "passed by".

When we hired Darryl he wasn’t a top quality coach, he became that while with us and probably more so while in LA. His extensions probably would count as “signing” a top quality coach but at the time of his original hiring he wasn’t. The Brent sutter hire is kinda in between but certainly not a Babcock/ quennville trotz AV, etc. Type coach
Keenan was well over the hill and had been coaching in Russia if I’m not mistaken. Pretty sure he didn’t command his same fee as he would’ve in his heyday
