I would replace Cameron with Paul MacLean, a guy who coached both Detroit's and Anaheim's PP's to very productive numbers. I have no idea who to hire for the defensive group but it should be someone who is good with D men who like to jump up into the play. If GG drops the ball at the start of the year you have a capable interim coach in MacLean.
I think a key issue is Brodie. Borderline Team Canada defenseman in 2016 has sucked balls under GG. If GG stays Brodie has to be traded for forward depth.
