    This was known for at least 2 months now. I dunno if this is a good move. At least it'll be an entertaining one

      This sucks...I like Melrose as a tv personality. Well, it'll be fun seeing if he actually still has any coaching ability, you gotta wonder if all the time behind the cameras has made him rusty.

        Makes me wonder if the fact that ESPN doesn't have hockey anymore was a factor in his decision. I know they haven't for several years now but you didn't get to see a ton of him during the season since it left. I love his ESPN studio work.

          Yeah, he'd get snippets on SportsCenter, but that's about it...was great when ESPN had the NHL, he's just a really interesting personality with insight on the game but some humor as well.

            i live just outside of tampa and attend around 10 games a year...i like this move - if it doesn't work out then no real loss. koules and barrie are going to be very aggressive, and with lecavalier, st. louis, and stamkos they should be fun to watch if they can add some depth. the key is if smith is the answer in goal.

            melrose should be fun to listen to and ownership promises to be involved (unlike bill davidson who was never a part of the community).
