I'll take it, but does CHL success mean anything? On one hand it's no secret that CHL is influenced by economics, and the Wings can't really spend their way out of this. On the other hand, I have a pretty good appreciation for CHL team building. There is rapid turnover, they move tons of draft picks, they really have to rebuild every 3-4 years. That certainly looks good on the resume.
I say give him a shot, I don't know if it's the best move. Kelly McCrimmon? He'd be another good choice, and I think Bill Zito, too.... I would give any of them a shot. (I don't expect anything like that happening for a good 18-24 months minimum)
