A former D coach who sold his superiors on a new defense system getting the most out of his defensemen since he stepped in is the probably the most logical thing about it. And he's done very well with the D they brought in as well as the youngsters who've come up this year.
But by the same token, entrusting him with our elite future offensive talents to respect the gifts they bring and provide them with the lanes to maximize that potential on the offensive side is something that should should at least give pause. Can he be that guy? I'm not sure based on what we've seen.
