NHL Insider Brian Lawton (3/24/26)
Q: What do you think about the coaching stability versus change in Canadian markets like Edmonton?
He argues that stability matters, citing Tampa Bay's success with a long-tenured coach and suggesting Canadian markets may face tougher scrutiny when results dip, especially after high-profile seasons.
NHL Insider Brian Lawton (3/24/26)
Q: Can we even discuss what you currently do?

NHL Executive Legend Brian Burke (3/20/26)
Q: Are coaches, I mean, are they even allowed to say, hey, we need to go after this guy on that team and go after that?
