Who do you want?
A college coach such as Jim Montgomery or David Quinn?
Someone from the Babcock coaching tree, a la Paul MacLean, D.J. Smith, or Sheldon Keefe?
A guy who's had AHL success, such as Travis Green?
Darryl Sutter?
Someone else? Discuss.
I want a GM first. No tandem hires. No coach with extensive power. Get me a GM to lead a real search and pick his own guy.
I think we need a layer between Pegula and a roster building GM. We need a grizzled president of hockey operations type.
Kevyn Adams?! Load the gun and **** it if that happened.

What a dumb suggestion from Baker.

I want a coach who plays progressive up tempo attacking hockey that takes advantage of the talent we have. Is that too much to ask?
No it is not.
If John Tortorella can have a come to Jesus moment in Columbus this season than I guess anything is possible.But you'd also think it was an easy ask of Bylsma to flex a little and change everything some of his ways to fit his roster, and he wouldn't or couldn't. Or both.
Meaning, we should absolutely be careful with some of these redo's set in their ways.
