When I heard about the idea of bringing in former Minnesota Wild head coach Mike Yeo as an assistant/future head coach for the St. Louis Blues, I got excited. I won't apologize for being optimistic about the idea of General Manager Doug Armstrong having some sort of plan in place for when Ken Hitchcock finally takes his dirty dozen long johns and heads out.
It would be nice to have a plan in place other than ride the Hitchcock boat year to year or hope the 65 year old to change his mind and come back. Let's think ahead for a change and Yeo is a good coach to think that way with.
