Stamkos getting back to TB tonight reminded me of the whole Seen Stamkos? campaign and of course, his rookie season under Barry Melrose which was really not good. Melrose even said that Stamkos wasnt NHL ready at the time. But in retrospect it was such a weird episode of the Lightning history. Melrose was 15+ year removed from his last coaching gig. How did Tampa management came up with the idea of hiring him specifically? What was the thought process there? Wouldnt there have been much better candidates?
Also I'm curious to note other out of the blue coachs hiring through history. Martin St-Louis jumping from coaching a bunch of kids to the Montréal Canadiens was a big surprise.
