I think the phrase "he needs his horses for his system to work" is a pretty big joke to be honest. A good coach gets the best out of his players no matter what. I also think the best coach is the one that not only has a good system in place, but one that can motivate his players. I have absolutely no inside information, and this is completely my opinion, but he did not seem to be a motivating factor for us at all.
I think the Devils by and large did get the most of the players the last few years. Wasn't perfect, but it was what it was. We were in a great position to get in last year and we didn't because a shootout and Brodeur. This year the wheels fell of the wagon.
