A coach can only lead you so far.
Before Quinn, the Leafs had missed the playoffs for two seasons. Since Quinn, we've been to the playoffs 6 years in a row, twice to the ECF, thrice to the second round, and once a seven game loss in the first round.
Just because they haven't won the cup doesn't mean he shouldn't be retained. Many coaches don't win the cup with the teams they coach.
And he is not an "older asset". Ya he is old, but he is a great coach. Was Scotty Bowman an older asset? Maybe we should go for a younger coach like Granato or Olcyck, they both did well their first season.
