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. 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.

If we're talking about ex-players as assistant coaches. I'd be 100% on board of bringing Robyn Regehr into the organization.
