Dave Cameron hitting the 500-win milestone in the OHL is a significant achievement, but does it solidify his legacy as a top-tier coach? His international success is undeniable, yet his OHL championship drought raises questions. Does regular season success translate to playoff prowess? Where does Cameron rank among the all-time great OHL coaches, and how much weight should be given to his World Junior struggles?

This also brings up the broader discussion of how we evaluate coaching success. Is it purely about wins and championships, or are player development and mentorship equally important? How much impact does a coach truly have versus the talent of the roster they are given? With Ottawa missing the playoffs for the first time in his tenure, what changes are needed for the 67's to return to contention? Is it a personnel issue, a system failure, or something else entirely? Let's hear your thoughts.
