I think you need to have the new coach evaluate what he has. The last time this core played a full season they were the #1 seed in the East. And with Torts: tell me a coach in this league that controls the way his team plays through his system more than Torts. The new style of play with be undoubtedly more open and reliant on creativity.
Whoever we wind up hiring; unless you get an absolute slam-dunk offer, let the new coach see what he's working with and leave the personnel decision to be made after he figures out who can/can't fit with the way the team is going to play.
Seriously, in retrospect, they really put up a nice fight against the Bruins. The unfettered shots from the point is what did them in. The new coach is not going to allow the D to constantly collapse like that.
