msw2112 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Seems like a solid hire with a lot of NHL experience. Was about a .500 head coach with St. Louis and won a cup as an assistant with the Kings. Probably not someone that would be high on the list for a head coaching position, but seems like a good fit for an assistant. Does anyone know if he has any specialties - PP, PK, Forwards, Defense, etc.? I read a few things I could find online and there wasn't much beyond where he has coached and what his record was.
