Might be Sorensen getting the HC job, Davidson said EVERY young player has gotten better under him, he stressed EVERY young player, and thats the direction Chicago is going…seems pretty simple really, get him a top six forward and a full training camp and see what happens

Saw an article in 2023 he was making 750k or so, and first time NHL coaches average around 1.5M…. If you’re curious.
$750k a year is about $180k more a year than most doctor's make. So he just signed a multi-year extension with Denver yesterday for an undisclosed amount. I'm assuming it's over $1 million. The guy is just fine financially and doesn't need to uproot his family for a team spiraling into the gutter or a team climbing out of the gutter

Just throwing his name there again , but the Moncton Wildcats won their semifinals 4 games straight, and are now in the finals in the Q This Gardner MacDougall guy just wins and wins big everywhere he goes. He's obvously great with young players, Desnoyers had a great season with him. At some point the NHL is going to come knocking at his door, why not grab him before the rest of league stands up and takes notice

He probably doesn't want to leave his cushy job unless it's for a contender. I don't blame him. If he came to the Hawks and we still finished bottom 5 it looks like he's a bad NHL coach. Not much different of a situation with Boston or NYR or PIT or ANH.

If he's making hundreds of thousands a year to coach that program I get why he wouldn't want to leave. Big assumption that a NHL team is going to give him $5m a year to coach. That'd put him in the top 3 highest paid coaches in the league. I don't know what kind of money some of you are making but $250k+ a year to coach a hockey team for a few decades means you have "f*** you" money. He's already won the lottery, set for life.
Id guess his new extension is in the two comma range. I get all that I just think guys are competitors and they want to compete at the highest level, including coaching. I don't even mean Chicago. I just mean in general.

And he’s making it at an age that doctors typically aren’t…just starting out in practice working the long hours for lower pay. Doctors are the prototype for delayed gratification.
 
That’s not really true. The ability to not worry about money, and the potential to create generational wealth, makes life much easier, and by proxy better and happier.
Whole lot of miserable rich people out there. And nobody with a $1M+ salary really has to worry about money either do they

Not to get all wine mom here but being able to have enough is a truly underrated trait in a culture that constantly preaches accumulation. Kudos to Carle if he is happy enough in his situation to stay put. (And let's be real, his kids and probably their kids are going to be just fine)
 
I did not mean to piss down your leg. It always makes me 🤦 when kids act like 8holes. Sadly I know from my experiences.

So, here's a toast to you.
Families are hit or miss. I haven't talked to any of my family for over a decade and it did wonders for my mental health. Too much to unload here but let your imagination run wild lol!

My sister has severe mental health problems. Being extremely bipolar is the least of her problems.

We have custody of her 2 boys. Children's Aid took them away and my wife and I took them in. (my Nephews)

If I could cut her out of my life, I would. We are often on the receiving end of vicious attacks ie malnutrition towards the children and sexually assaulting them. These are all delusions on her part.

I feel your pain, brother.
 
As easy (and as fun) as it is to talk shit about family, this topic is going a bit sideways.

So let's try to get back on topic and complain about the various coaches that are not signing here instead.
 
You don't get into coaching for the money. Maybe he is happy to stay at Denver his whole career. I still think if the NHL comes calling you eventually want the challenge. He didn't dream of coaching Denver when he was playing. He dreamed of lifting the Cup.
 
yeah stay in Denver for another 4 or 5 years until his kids have grown up some more and he turns 40.
Then he can come to Chicago and reap the next 3 Cups.
Or not and we can still win the Cups without ole ginger.

He’s in a unique spot where Denver means a lot more to him than say North Dakota did to Hakstol or BU to Quinn. They honored his scholarship and gave him an opportunity to stay in the game even after his heart problems ended his playing career. I wouldn’t walk away from somewhere that gave me a new lease at life easily

His wife just had a baby, it is about spending time with his young family.

Sorenson very well may be the correct guy for now, he has developed most of these young guys already with the hawks and the showing late in the season when Rindell and Moore came was great! This year there will be even more youngsters!

Would like to see King out the door for a new associate coach of Sorensons choice if he gets the gig.

Just a few stats this year for the moncton wildcats #1 seed going into the playoffs, lead the league in points by 12, won their last 15 games in a row. one goalie is 23-0 this season they lead the league in goals for and goals against this year, in 2022 , gardner took over the st john seadogs at the memorial cup after firing their head coach, and won the thing This guys numbers are off the chart everywhere he goes. if Moncton goes to the memorial cup this year, he wont be an unknown quantity any more
