Ryan Huska and Kirk Muller are a big no for the top job, and I am hoping they are canned. Maybe Huska can stay but Muller ran a terrible PP.
Darryl Sutter is pretty bad a identifying coaches who go on to have a productive coaching career he has had some brutal assistant coaching choices before. HIs coaching hires are as poor as Trelivings.
Terrible:
Paul Baxter
Mumbles Preston
Rob Cookson
Bob Berry
None of those bums have coached after leaving assistant coaching positions with Sutter.
He also dusted off Mike Keenan from the antique store and brought him back, hired Playfair who was not ready and was relegated back to assistant coach. Said he wanted to hire Huska in LA as well. Not a ringing endorsement based on that list above.
Starting to warm up for Brunette a bit he has been under coach Q and now Lindy in New Jersey so hopefully he has learned a bit about defensive structure.
Did he run the powerplay in Florida?
