Yes,it would be sad if KK didn't come back.After having a looksie at the British game for a season,I reckon he'd put together an awesome squad for next year,add a bit more steel(As opposed to goon) and muscle,and a real goalscorer. We're not too far off now,so it'd be a shame to start all overagain with another coach new to the UK game.
BUT!!!!
I don't think anyone should be under any illusion that this is what KK has been working for,his lifes ambition,if you will.We are just a steppping stone a great coaches career.Bit like a third division football team's supporters thinking that the centre forward who's just scored his 40th goal of the season won't want to go when Man U come knocking on his door.
The NHL beckons for KK,maybe not as a head coach,at least not yet,but that's where he's headed.
Just wondering,is he still 'involved' in the Ottawa Senators organisation,as he was with Raleigh?If the answer is 'yes',did Ottawa have any influence in his arrival at Nynex?Seen as Ogdens are owners here and in Ottawa,makes you think.
