I don't disagree with you on the Keenan front, but he wasn't hired because he was cheap, he was hired cause that's who our Manager wanted. Same with B.Sutter, was highly sought after when we brought him here, people were raving about him in NJ.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up.
I still think most fans have watched other teams go out and get great coaches and the whole not even being in on Boudreau last year and it just gets frustrating.
Kinda feels like the one thing we haven’t tried as an organization inthe last 25 years is getting a top quality coach. We’ve tried being fast, we’ve tried truculence and every type of front office possible, but still very limited success.
