If we want someone who is proven to be successful in "today's NHL" (going back almost 10 years I suppose). But with any coach there are warts. He likes his vets. He loves him some Tanner Glass for example.
Right now, for this franchise, they should want someone who can forge a consistent approach. Get them in every year. I think AV has that track record.
Friedman on 960 right now - Says there will be clarity among a number of coaching decisions soon. Feels Treliving doesn't think GG should take the blame for all that happened. Reiterates the wrestling with the decision idea. Brings up Peters again but says that his option to leave the Hurricanes isn't dependent on Calgary "they aren't related" but Peters has worked with Treliving in the past and the 960 crew seems to want to go down that road.
Friedman also suggests the Oilers are calling one too many pressers. Amen.
