Probably someone who understands the importance of 3-on-3 OT and SO in the modern game (no point in having a team built for 5-on-5 OT if you can't make the playoffs).
Whoever comes in now, I want them to give everyone on the Wranglers a fair shot with the big club because that team looks like a great cornerstone for the franchise from which to build.

The Ritchie thing definitely felt like a coach saying f u to a team that had quit.
The wranglers thing will be interesting. The NHL is a lottery league. The AHL players may be nice but by definition are depth. I am not sure how much they matter.
