Agreed, last years coaching staff should never return

Take the "best" players

It was Hunter or Gardiner MacDougall for me.

After the Cameron fiasco, they likely chose to avoid another Islander lol.

Hopefully we can ditch the "we'll win with perfect defensive play from our team of two way forwards and D" direction and just select the best players to run this tournament's show like we should be doing. Brutal picks last year, offensive players will play the defensive system when given the chance...defensive players literally can't turn on the offense when the team needs it.

A good coach probably could put together a team from the ones not picked, and beat the team that was picked.

Great. So we won’t be getting to mars any time soon. He will choose 3rd and 4th choice nasa engineers.

I also don’t think the Hunters will be skipping practices because of “tiredness”.
