What common ground? LaFontaine hired him and Murray kept him when he realized how bad we would be for a couple of years. I see no attachment and no front office job for Nolan after this season.
I remember the Richardson talk when Murray was hired also. Not a fan of Nolan either...all he says is try harder. I know the team stinks but try something different...play a defensive game...something other than giving up 40 shots a game
