We should splurge on a genuine top coach though. Not because this is a "tough team to coach", but because all Canadian cities are extremely difficult places to coach. So much attention, so much pressure.

They were good the first half of last season. They've been average ever since. I think the team is closer to what we've seen the last half of last year, last playoffs, this year, this playoffs. I think they can do better but they are not a Stanley Cup team unless some guys really break out.
