Speculation: 2024-25 Coaching/Management/Ownership

Why are they either buff or have man boobs?

Got to appeal to all demographics. To those who like buff guys and to those who like boobs.

Most of them are pretty good likenesses. Tortorella and Arniel are insanely bad, it’s not remotely close. Cronin has been de-aged about 30 years.

Evason’s is pretty bad too. Some guys have way too few grays, they like used all the grays on Torts haha

While I think this team needs a coaching overhaul, I dont have faith that its going to happen in-season. I think we would have to loose some crazy streak of games for it t even be remotely possible. I get the feeling Verbeek is one of these guys who wants to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and give them time to fix things before pulling triggers.

With that said, there are some good coaches that are out there available right now. Do any of them fit into Beekers plans? Thats the question we just dont know. It seemed like his plan was to have Cronin fix some of the issues left over from Eakins before handing the team off to McIlvane. Im not sure they have seen what they need to from any of the coaches to stay on that track.

Also possible they are waiting for the right coach to be fired from their current gig.

Just a few names that come to mind:
Montgomery
McLellan
Sullivan
Hakstol
Woodcroft

Wildcards that Im not sure we would want to take the chance on:
Leach
Ott

Gallant seems like a guy you bring in when you are ready to win now. Not sure he fits here.
Ive seen Quenneville mentioned a bunch but I dont see the org approving that one. Also not sure he fits with our current roster.
I know people loved Bruce but I dont see that rehash coming.

Given the disaster that Cronin is, I'm hoping McIlvane is not an automatic replacement at any time in Verbeek's tenure.

If Mike Sullivan gets fired, then we need to dump Cronin
