I actually think he would be a great assistant based on his ability to connect with players lol.

It's conflicting news. There is no question the Ducks needed to move on from their assistant coaches. However, it's tough to cheer for people losing their jobs. I hope they both find another opportunity somewhere else.
On the bright side, this should be good news for the team. If the new assistant coaches can improve the Ducks's special teams to be just mediocre, it will have a huge impact on their wins.
PV needs to find the right people if the young players are to develop correctly. It is a clear area of weakness that can and should measurably be improved through coaching.

Ducks Announce Hockey Operations Updates | Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks have promoted Rick Paterson to General Manager of the San Diego Gulls, Anaheim’s primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL), and Mike Stapleton to Assistant General Manager of the Ducks. In addition, Assistant General Manager Rob DiMaio has left the club due to...www.nhl.com
Have to echo @duxfan1101 sentiments that Rob DiMaio leaving is a big net positive as well. Didn’t realize Rick Paterson has been here that long

Hitchcock I believe was Verbeek’s coach in Dallas. Stranger things have happened.

How much will a top-6RW and a top-4RD help?
We lost a top-6 winger in Rico until the TDL. Rico was tied at 3rd in scoring for the Ducks last year with 42 points (18g + 24a). He was a +3 on a team full of negative ratings. On the faceoff dot, Rico was 1st on the team with 52.9% winning pct. ATOI for Rico was 17:35. What makes Rico more valuable was that he played on both the PP and the PK units.
We also lost a top-4RD (for us) in Lybushkin until the TDL. He scored only 4 points, all assists, and a -13 rating. Lybushkin was a staple on the PK, 2nd in blocked shots with 183 blocks, and 6th in hits with 112 hits.
There is also the addition of Cutter Gauthier's offense to factor in with the potential off-season additions of RW and RD.
This just means the bulk of the rest in goal differential (GD) is the growth or re-growth (Zegras) for our youths. Also, will the new PP coach improve our scoring?
There's just a lot of moving parts to see us surging towards a playoff spot, or make up 40 points next season.

Boudreau as an "everything up to the playoffs" coach.
He has said the only team he would ever be an assistant for would be Toronto. And that was after he got fired from the Ducks.

Could look into which AHL teams have the highest PP success rates and see if there are any potentials there.

Verbeek is already off to a good start this off-season, keep it up, dude.
Need a PP specialist who can take the strengths of our young group and have a Top 10 PP in the league. I honestly feel we have the skill to have that top PP, especially if adding a Top 6 winger this summer.

So, now I have to come up with a new title for my account.

Nah, reject change. I'm still rocking the fire Murray and Carlyle logo. Everything old comes back into style eventually!

I was actually the one who designed it back in the day. Should still have the psd somewhere on my old hard drives.
Yeah, Pro Sports is a meritocracy. I dont feel bad for guys who got a shot and couldnt live up to the expectations. And our expectations were low, but holy crap.
I only feel bad for guys who never get a fair shot
Good for Studs! Sounds like the Org really did right by him. Kept him around and active and has the opportunity to return
