This could likely fit into the hiring thread, but I'm hoping this thread will serve to look forward with McPhee, his management style, and his future moves.

Boehlke over at Sinbin put up an article a few minutes ago with is research.

From the article:

The Capitals were competitive for most of McPhee’s 17 years as general manager. He’s widely respected in the league, and is heralded for his success drafting players. McPhee hired six coaches, mostly offensively minded, with the exception of Dale Hunter.
