A bit buried in Craig's article today but confirmed by Tourigny
“When we just hired Blaine Forsythe as an assistant coach, he had a good interview, but so did plenty of other guys we interviewed. The research you do behind the scenes and the people you talk to means way more. We talked to a lot of people who coached with Blaine Forsythe, who worked with him before and they all said good things about him. I talked to former players who played for him like Jay Beagle and they all said great things about him. Then you meet him to confirm what people say and that’s how he got the job."
Has spent the past 14 seasons as assistant coach with the Capitals

Not sure if he is replacing someone or an addition, but our bench is already crowded as is with Duhamel, Stillman, and Madden.
Also, not sure if Stillman is leaving or if this is an oversight by Tourigny, but he is not mentioned here in this part further in the article:
"I want to grow with these people; with Mads [John Madden], Mario [Duhamel], Bill [Armstrong], [Corey] Schwabby and Hunts [Hunter Cherni]."
