Let’s start with the mood in that room today when they met.
To me it’s unmistakable how light the mood was compared to the past decade. We’re talking no more ‘Shana-Plan’, How do they turn the page, how do they get better? Marner; that hung over the entire room the entire year last year.
A few years ago, Kyle Dubas entering the final year of his deal, then Sheldon Keefe a lame-duck coach. It’s always a situation where you felt people had their hair on fire on this day and the story got fed from there.
Sink or swim, this is more than ever Craig Berube and Brad Treliving’s team. There’s a calmness around this team right now. Doesn’t mean they’ll figure it out like the previous administration, but there’s a definite calmness.
