The Blues and Stars are happy with them!
The former had not been a head coach in the NHL in nearly 2 decades . Berube had never been a HC.

That's is a hell of a thing to try to time right. Players and coaches hitting their development curves simultaneously at just the right time.
This team has tried no resume coaches for years now. It hasn't worked. It could work this time I guess, but would you bet on it?
