Pretty awesome that this discussion is happening. Darryl plays guys more when they need it, and when he needs to get the attention of said player he has other methods which I've observed to be extremely useful.
What he gets out of players is pretty amazing because you don't have every coach in the league having that same impact otherwise the coaching carousel would be worse .
Man I'm glad #58 is still here and improving daily ....climbing that depth chart and making other guys work harder because of it. Healthy competition never hurts .
It's weird though. I felt the same way about Gio when he refused to be assigned to the AHL way back in 2008 and chose to go the route he did.
He came back and in short order had Scotty Bowman call him the most improved player in the League.....that says something.
