I'm going with Brind'Amour, then Evason. Nothing against Quenneville, but Florida actually looks like a pretty stacked team to me. The fact it all came together this year is great, but it kind of clouds the fact they they were embarrassingly underachieving before now.
Carolina and Minnesota both seem to me to be greater than the sum of their parts or have players that produced beyond what should normally be expected, which suggests coaching is a bigger part of the equation. Florida did what they should have.
