Not sure what that includes though - including who is ultimately responsible for player development for the players on the main roster.

EDIT: Actually that might be wrong as Ray Edwards is listed as the director of player development.

Assistant General Manager: Craig Conroy
Assistant General Manager: Brad Pascall
Assistant General Manager: Chris Snow
Senior VP, Hockey Operations: Don Maloney
Director, Hockey Administration: Mike Burke
Director, Pro Personnel: Derek MacKinnon
Director, Player Development: Ray Edwards
Player Development: Ron Sutter
Player Assistance: Brian McGrattan
Director, Amateur Scouting: Tod Button
Asst. Directors of Amateur Scouting: Rob Sumner, Fred Parker
Director, Team Operations: Sean O'Brien
Database Architect and Analyst: David Johnson
Head Coach: Geoff Ward

Sigh. They also apparently don't update their web site regularly.

Well that helps. So it must be an internal decision rather than falling on the coaches. Just seemed like up until D.Sutter we were doing the same sorts of things with Sam but D. Sutter would have a bit more experience with hands on with guys like Sam.
