  1. Travis Green and Mike Yeo?…..The Senators are doomed.
    Yeo as St.Louis coach had them dead last in the NHL at Christmas. He got fired, Craig Berube took over, and they won the cup.

  2. His main point is… don't overpay your over-performers from last season unless you're sure that they can consistently live up to the pressure that comes with the new responsibilities that come from that bigger slice of the salary-cap pie. I've got to agree with him. I think we can likely sign Myers again for a smaller contract, and I'd LOVE if either Hronek or Zadorov were willing to take a team-friendly deal. But, I think we've got a great coach, a great core, a great market, and great management right now — that's a form of capital you can use to bring in new guys that want a chance to "over-perform" with this group that almost took out the Oilers in the playoffs. I bet good systems coaching and good development coaches can bring the best out of some new players if our favs from last season want too much.
