Look at Schneiders numbers as an example...way better in the AHL than they are in the ECHL.
Speaking of which, maybe he can be a guy that comes out of no where and figures it out.

I agree that he can't be worse than Smith. But that is damning with faint praise.
I also get that the D down there is depleted.
If we can't get Howard (for something reasonable) then I think we have to roll with what we have. and that may as well include giving Gillies a couple of games to see. I do also worry that Smith will destroy the locker room if that happens.
