Did we ever find out what he actually did?


The info in this article, courtesy of Todd McLellan anonymously griping to Mark Spector, is the closest we've come to understanding Paul Coffey's role with the team:

There was some suggestion he might play a larger role under Hitchcock, but there's no evidence to suggest that happened.

Theoretically, he was brought in to make the powerplay better. The powerplay DID improve this year, but given how little Coffey was around, it would be surprising if he actually had much impact...

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
