PP / Forwards
Todd Nelson is considered a power play stud. In fact he ran a strong PP in Edmonton after Eakins was fired and a strong PP allowed him to lead an AHL team to the Calder Cup. Also had success developing Anthona Mantha.

PK / Defense
Brian Campbell

I believe our defensemen need guidance and backing on staff from someone who's actually been a great defenseman in the NHL. Peters has the PK system in place and the coach just has to implement it. You look at Pittsburgh and they have Gonchar on staff. Anaheim has Neidermayer on staff. Up until last year, Nashville had Phil Housley on staff, who got himself promoted to Buffalo's head coach. A stubborn head coach is more likely to listen to feedback from someone who's actually been a star in the league and Campbell was a hell of a defenseman in his day. I mean hell he'd still be an upgrade on at least Stone as a player today.
