BBQ Bruce would be my top pick to run the forwards and PP. He's a PowerPlay guru. His personality and connection to the players is sorely missed here and has been gone since Tocchet left. He's fiesty. He's animated. I'm sure he'd love Pittsburgh's food and Fatheads headwiches. He has enough experience and respect that Sullivan should know he should listen to Bruce or he's looking at his replacement. Not sure if he wants to be an assistant but he might if he's a high paid one and thinks he has a shot to be our usual mid-season savior to take us back to a cup win. I'd enjoy watching him eat BBQ wings out of the cup if it was ours.
About the defense and PK... I wouldn't be surprised if they tap Velucci for that.
The main thing is we need to go from having assistant coaches that are more introverted personalities to having some fire back on the staff. It would be nice to have some guys on the bench that are sitting there waiting for Sullivan to f*** up just like Hawks flying a dead body. Hopefully if we get the right staff in place we won't have to get to that point.
I only want the Pens to hire Boudreau if he does all press conferences with BBQ sauce on his face.
