So my point is, if they're going to change the players, I would believe they need to do something with the coaching staff there.
I think they plateaued there.

Cassidy's a great coach, but he got let go in Vegas with eight games left.
That's the one thing.

We didn't adjust.
To me, I think the problem for Edmonton, though, is they just signed Knobloch to a two- or three-year extension.
That kicks in this year.
