Was hoping for Tippett, AV, Sutter or one of the more established guys but as a fan of the team, I’ll get behind the hire until it proves to be a problem. I mentioned in another thread that Jack Adams front runner Gerard Gallant was a bad coach until he wasn’t. He didn’t coach Columbus to within even a sniff of the playoffs for 2+ years, then surprisingly took the Panthers to the playoffs although they were upset. Now he’s coaching an expansion team that is a legit Stanley Cup contender. Let’s hope Bill Peters has a similar progression. It’ll be very interesting to see who will be hired for each assistant position.
