I don't think at this point they'd be rushing it. I think Aquilni is a creature of habit and may go the same route he has before and hire a GM and/or coach with little to no NHL experience. Possibly putting both Sedins in as GM, and hiring Trent Cull.
Do the fans really want blood, or do they maybe, juuuust maybe, not want to watch a middling, perimeter team go through the motions anymore?
