Erik Erlendsson: Lightning hire new assistant coach Tampa Bay hired a new assistant coach to join Jon Cooper's staff.

I feel like this is a pretty good fit.

Would have preferred Adam Oates

I approve.

What happened with Stumpy? Probably talking when he should have been listening!

Arty does this means Todd Richards runs the pp ?

Tried to find some stats on CBJ PP between 2012-2015 but couldnt find it. Anyone have any insight?

Either way its a good hiring. Adding a former head coach to the bench should make this team even better.

I saw Columbus PP numbers under him somewhere all I remember is first few they were like 26th but his last full year they were 5th.

That could just be a saving face for Cooper. I don't think they'll come out and say "we know Cooper sucks at the PP, so we brought him help". I think advise means working the PP under Cooper.

Good, hopefully he can bring that success to the Lightning. We have too many great offensive talents to have such a poopty powerplay.

Good hire definitely to help the PP but why is Brad Lauer still on staff.

Its getting close to lots of roster transactions. Can't wait to see how it all plays out.
