I feel like they all try to find that lightning in a bottle sort of situation. As a Kings fan, we sort of had that with Sutter when he was brought in. They had Murray develop structure with a young team, and Darryl turned out to be the right guy to take the team to another level for the next few seasons, at least.
More often than not, it doesn't work. It does feel like NHL players tend to need a new voice even more often than other pro leagues. The Kings players sure seemed done with Darryl when he was let go. But the teams are afraid to go with someone without experience.
