There are some NHL egos on the team that may require someone who has coached such critters before...hungry AHL/OHL/WHL/etc youngsters generally don't have a motivation problem. Pat Quinn could bring out the best in Pavel Bure and Igor Larionov, he could almost certainly get the sashas to give a crap. Dale Hunter might be a great NHL coach, but that's not a roll of the dice that I would be very comfortable with under the circumstances.
Hunter is definitely a risk, could be a great move or could totally blow up in our faces.
