Stl had named drew bannister its coach, a 2-year deal was signed.
Works for me. Woulda been kinda rough on the guy to give him a taste of the nhl then replace him with a guy who has a multi year ban from the sport.
He gave a lot of young guys real ice time to end this season, probably more ice time for more guys (alexandrov, dean, bolduc, Toropchenko, tucker, etc) than I’ve ever seen stl do. I like that. No point in playing a guy 8-10 min a night, healthy scratch them a lot, and expect them to improve - or rostering a pure scoring winger but hiding him from real minutes.
