I think this hire helps all facets of the organization. Alfredsson`s presence should inadvertently force players who are competitive by nature anyway to try a little harder to be better just from him being there watching them knowing he is a former player. I think his insights on player tendencies will be helpful to scouts & player development to learn to change tendencies at times & help in accessing player evaluations.
Alfredsson could be another coach in the sense helping young players on & off the ice, players who may be having adjustment problems & on playing the game or learning the subtleties of the game even conditioning. This is without question one of the best hires in franchise history on & off the ice, the best win/win scenario the organization could ever have hoped for with the exception of winning a cup. Never hurts to have former greats of the organization & former players in the organization as part of the organization after their careers are over as good PR between the organization & their fans.

Its actually not so much that I didn't like Daniel Alfredsson, its that I didn't like how the fanbase deified him so much. It was a little over the top.

It was over the top but it had it's moments
It was fun to be part of it most of the time and easy to ignore when it got out of hand

I took it as being intentionally over the top, like those Chuck Norris jokes. I did (and do) love the guy, but obviously, I don't think he actually created the heavens and earth.

Every time I see one of his interviews I come away saying god damn Lazar is good with a microphone in his face. It's like he's got someone from the PR department whispering in his ear. Unbelievable from a 20 year old.

I think this guy can help this team. He could positively influence the young players and teach them how to be pros.
