Personally, aside from the unpleasant boot applied to Rob Daum's rear end, I like the move. Frankly, Jeff Truitt seems a little more qualified to be the primary mentor/development coach down on the farm, and I think a guy as relatively inexperienced as Buchberger could certainly grow under MacTavish's watch. Also, I tend to think of head coach of the AHL team as a more pivotal role than being MacT's third assistant coach- it's a role that has a tremendous impact on Oil prospects.
Plus, with all the hue and cry for a real heavyweight enforcer, maybe Buchy can coach Zach Stortini into a dominating fighter, eerily reminiscient of a young fist head-butter Kelly Buchberger.
