Speculation: 2024-25 Coaching/Management/Ownership

[robbieboy3686]

Cronut (OK, I'm keeping the auto correct) was only hired for 2 years, right? I thought I read that but can't find it now. I'd let him ride out the year (unless a really good coach becomes available and wants to sign here). Even if we can get a good one, maybe let them come in as a special consultant so they can watch what's going on behind the scenes and formulate a plan before taking over?

I’m calling it now, hurricanes lose early rounds. Fire brindamour, we convince brindamour that we’re trying to implement the same man on man system and hire him.

Cronin looks like another RC to me.

Maybe we're not good at developing youths or we're using the NHL as the developmental ground (rushing prospects) without proper insulation.

Probably a good time to remind everyone that the athletics ducks articles are - for the most part- essentially just hf posts with better grammar and search engine optimization and not really worthy of getting worked up about

People have been speculating all over the place but it's never been made public. My guess is they gave him 2 years with a club option for a 3rd. A cheap way to have him for 3 years if he turns out good but a cheap way to only be committed for 2 years if it goes south (like we are seeing so far).

Too bad development years can't be paused.
