PIT’s best defensive years were when Jacques Martin was on the bench with Sullivan, but he’s an advisor now for Ottawa, and I doubt he wants to deal with a full season of coaching again. This is where Drury needs to get Dolan to throw a bag at Jay Leach if he doesn’t get named a HC this cycle. He does an amazing job coaching dmen, which is why Seattle was so successful a few years ago. Sullivan knows him from when he was the head coach in the AHL.
Make him the highest paid assistant coach. I think Toronto did that when they pilfered Dean Chynoweth from Carolina.
