Coaches or executives moving to a new team and reuniting with players is, for better or worse, commonplace in professional sports, hockey included. At least to some degree, there’s logic to it.

When someone in the organization has experience with the player, it’s added certainty. Inside knowledge can be provided on how a player will act in practice on a day-to-day basis, how he responds to criticism, how attentive he is during video sessions, and so on.
