The spotlight from coaching, to management, and roster tweaks. Fans and insiders are buzzing about big changes ahead, with the core stars still there, but the support around them looking shaky. Rumors are heating up about bringing back legend Matt Sundin for a front office role, maybe paired with veteran exec Mike Gillis, who ran the... Vancouver conucks and knows the game inside out. This duo could add serious cred and smarts to the brass, building on ideas that floated around during the Brendan Shanahan days.
