From a pure here and now perspective I think Q would have the most success the quickest. I watched him here in Chicago and have has a few insights into those teams from employees at the time. He rides a select few, in his case 4 HOFers Sharpe Seabrook and Kjarmarlson and adequate goaltending, very very very hard. He is an end justifies the means type of person. The minutes Keith logged even when not fully healthy were insane. He doesn’t care about development. He exploits what you bring to the table and doesn’t really care or think it his job to teach or extract new talents, see Kane, Patrick.
He doesn’t care if you are a choir boy or convict and he doesn’t care about anything other than winning. I also believe, based on some whispers, that he knew what was going on and did not care or feel it was his problem.
After 13 years I would like that type of win at all costs attitude. Even voted that way in the thread. But I cannot see him and TPegs ever gelling. Rocky Wirtz was as much a fan as Terry, but he was willing to look away in order to pack the barn and host parades. I think Terry values image above all else and it would not be a fit. And after reflection I don’t think I could ever get behind a guy like him without some substantial act of contrition. Jmho.
.I like old fart.
