It was not even a week ago that I pointed out some of the absurdity behind the reaction to the current situation with the St. Louis Blues coaching staff. There was a lot made of the departures (and a little made of keeping Ken Hitchcock also) and the idea of the Blues only offering one year contracts.
I still stand by that assertion. Kirk Muller did not feel there would be any guarantee he would become the head coach for the Blues and wanted to return to Montreal, where he had the glory days of his playing career.
