I am not all that impressed by either of them, but I think I, like you, find Boudreau more appealing. I still think that nothing really changes until the core group is changed, but then that itself is also extremely difficult to do.
At the end of the day, and from my decades of experience as an arm-chair GM I remain convinced that it is damn hard to build a contending NHL team. There are only a few of them, and for all the years of trial and error suffered by the vast majority of franchises, it really does look to require a tonne of time, experience and luck.
