Well...I think it's safe to say that this organization will amount to nothing. He was 50% of the issue in Washington...

Really? 7 division championships, eight 40 win seasons, a President's Trophy, and a Stanley Cup Finals appearance. That's a hell of a good record. Sure, there were some questionable coaching hires (Dale Hunter, Adam Oates), and a few contracts that look bad in hindsight ... but over 17 seasons that's going to happen. Bottom line is that his teams won and won a lot.
While playoff success in Washington was a bit more elusive, in terms of building an expansion team I doubt there's a better pick out there than McPhee.
