Cameron stood out for me as having those qualities.

I'll probably be skewered for saying this, but I would have been fine giving Cameron some time to grow into the position. It's unrealistic to give a guy his first head coaching job on a mediocre team and expect immediate positive results. But point taken.

Cameron would be good with a old team that's not much expected.

I'm betting on the assistant being Rob Cookson.

Assistant coach to Marc Crawford the past 4 years, and was Guy Boucher's assistant the past 2 Spengler Cups as well...winning the most recent one this past January, was also an assistant coach for the Flames for a decade.

Called it, Friedman now speculating that Rob Cookson will likely be our other assistant coach.

Was he a poor assistant coach? He and Maclean did very well together in the first 2 seasons. obviously things fell apart in years 3 and 4 though.

Aside from that, Crawford also brings some other qualities to the table, like 15 yrs of HC experience at the NHL level.

Well, making the playoffs with 99 pts is very positive to me.

great, all we need now is a 12 year old analytics specialist and we're golden :sarcasm:

There's a bunch to choose from on here :sarcasm:
