Quoting: MNBassman
Total gut feeling, but I would put my money on Suter and Parise being the cause of the culture problem, not Koivu.
It could be all 3 of them? I say Suter (defacto GM/HC Suter) more than Parise. The didn't have heart before the $100m twins arrived, so that's where Koivu comes in. They haven't really ever come together as a team since like year 3. It why they have to bring in the Stewie and Hendricks of the NHL on an almost yearly basis.
It's time to move on from the vets in the leadership positions. Let the kids take over: Foligno with the "C", Brodin/Dumba with an "A", and JEE/Kunin with the other "A".
