Offseason

[edit]

Prior to the beginning of the regular season it was announced that Pavel Bure and Paul Laus would alternate the captaincy every five games.[1] This was discontinued when Mike Keenan was named the team’s new head coach in early December.[2]

Regular season

[edit]

On December 3, it was announced that Mike Keenan would replace Duane Sutter as head coach and Bill Torrey would step down as general manager.[3] Assistant general manager Chuck Fletcher was named interim general manager.[3]
