Phil Housley is a great coach down here in Nashville. Coaches the defense corp and power play. He'd be my guy if we made a coaching change. But, I don't see that happening given we've lost the most games due to injury of any team in the league. Much of the offensive woes are likely attributable to not having our top two centers healthy.
That said, we need blue line scoring in the worst way. Every team in the league is going to faster, highly skilled defensemen. But, we have a collection of offensively-challenged blue liners with the exception of Risto and McCabe. Franson can shoot but he is too damned slow for today's game. IMHO, we're desperate for another offensively-skilled d-man.
