Now that I think of it - the only reason why Nieds would have even been thinking about signing here was because of Darryl Sutter, Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff - holy hell do we need to fix our goaltending and our coaching position. They're actual draws for the organization. If you have a top end goalie, you can win on any given night thanks to them. If you have a top end coach, your team will be competitive all year long.
Get a freaking goalie and coach that are worth a damn. Nothing will ever come of this team until they nail both of those positions.

Do you remember Jay Bouwmeester? The all-star defenseman who was the best Free Agent that off-season?
Doesn't happen often but it has happened recently.
