I’m just left wondering what his known strengths may be and how much respect he holds with veteran goalies that have played at a much higher level for so long? What is it about him that saved him from being let go alongside the other three coaches?
I mean no disrespect, just curious if anyone can offer some insight.

The radio guys were saying they thought that Mike Smith really liked working with Sigalet so maybe that played a role?
Obviously you'd think Smith's, Rittich's and Gillies's post season interviews could have played a role.
