Darn.  He was someone I think would have fit well with the current players in the organization.

The second Trotz was fired I knew our chances at him were shot.  Poile has a strong relationship with him from their Team USA experiences.

No defensive system in his game...I wouldn't have gone in his direction

Pretty impressive for a guy with no defensive system to win a Stanley Cup with a defensive group of Frantisek Kaberle, Aaron Ward, Bret Hedican, Glen Wesley, Nic Wallin and Mike Commodore.

It's almost like playing a style that helps the team keep the puck in the offensive zone more than it's in their defensive zone could be considered to be a solid defensive strategy.
