Agreed it’s very akin to the Duncan Keith thing they want another proven leader.

They might even want Perry more, he seems like he's pretty vocal and will tear a strip off anyone, probably JJ was told straight up by Connor/Leon or Connor himself to bring him back. Keith was a leader too but I think he's one of those more silent leader types.

Watching him chew out Kane even I was like "whoa, calm down buddy".

I honestly don't give a shit about how a coach sounds in pressers. Daryl Sutter sounds like a caveman.

Even with Knoblaugh, he was so soft spoken in his first pressers here I initially thought "man this guy is too nice, he might be in trouble in the big leagues".

It's all about your systems and what you let slide as a coach and what you don't let slide. And how you can build players up but also hold them accountable.

I honestly even find it somewhat encouraging when a coach isn't the best or most charismatic speaker.

It shows they got to where they are thanks to their results rather than some snake oil they hustled.

I believe that if Todd Nelson was a smoother talker and better at selling himself he'd have coached over 500 NHL games by now.
