The defense has improved a great deal this year despite key injuries.

Over the past 5 weeks they are a top 10 defense.

Do we want to completely break up that scheme and unit and risk having an awful defense again?

If we keep McDermott would that help keep some continuity on the defense?

You definitely KEEP McDemott... When James Anderson is saying that its his defense with "some input here or there than McDermott obviously is the reason for. Their Success.

That's it... That's all I got. Information from a player on our defense, straight from his mouth.

There always is the possibility a new DC can pick up the pieces, run with what we have, and make the unit even better. It's not always doom and gloom and a Rivera/McDonut scheme can't be the only one that works for us. Look at the 49ers when they're new coaching staff came in. The new DC took that unit from just 13th overall to 4th overall, defensively.

The talent is there for us, apparently, if we are top 10 right now. Now, unless the new staff coming in acts like the current one, there's no reason to believe they won't look back at what's been working for us and play off that.

I know we've been burned a lot lately when it comes to coaching, but we have to stop being insecure with our prospects.

People will want this Job... So if we want to Keep McDerrmott we can...

Interview question for potential Head Coaches: We really like what McD did last year for our defense and have decided we want to keep him around. Will this effect you ability to produce results X, Y Z? How will you incorporate McD into your plan for this team? Is there any reason you will not be able to work with McD do satisfy our goals.

How the candidates answer those questions will factor into the decision, and when they accept the job they would have already agreed to work with the resources left over.

      Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
