Yes. I think he had the talent defensively in Nashville to play the style they did. Also had good to very good goaltending. Not saying he was a bad coach but didn't need to be a great one to coach defense there. Now he has to coach a team and with less talent on defense and offense. What worked in Nashville was not all coaching. The chicken salad out of chicken xxx has a lot of merit. I'm not sure he's a good coach as much as the stars aligned perfectly for him to be attractive to Buffalo being his alma mater.
