Currently he is back to the way he was playing earlier in the year. When he came back from his first call up, he went through a rough patch. There were some games where he was making some big mistakes that ended up in the back of the net. He has since worked through it, and is playing well. I wouldn't put it past him to crack the top 6, I thought he held his own quite well when he was in Columbus. He's pretty good for being undrafted.
Most likely. Jet hasn't been seen for a while. Linden Marshall is the new backup as Cam Johnson moved up. Marshall recorded his first shutout yesterday in his second start. Rochester pulled their goalie with about 2:30 left, and the puck stayed in the Monsters end for the rest of the game, with no whistles. He definitely earned his shutout, as when the horn sounded, he couldn't stand up straight to celebrate, as it took everything he had left to keep the puck out. The Monsters didn't even get a good chance at all to clear the zone. They never had possesion that whole time.
I got the impression this was always going to be Eaves last season. Am I wrong? Also, seems to me there would be no hurry to name a replacement and
I really don't know if it was the plan all along. With all 3 of his seasons affected by covid, he never really had a full normal season as coach. I am guessing since he wasn't on the bench this year, it was probably going to be his last. My girlfriend talked to him a few months ago asking how he was doing, and he told her he was going to be back on the bench soon, but that never happened. They may have been grooming Letestu or Volgelhuber for the job, but who knows who will get it, if it is either one of them, or they go outside the organization. Like you said, I don't think there is any hurry to name a coach.

I think that a chance is for sure there, but i will not be surprised if one of Vogelhuber/Boll will get that job, i personally think that Vogelhuber will be the man, to me it looks like CBJ board was slowly preparing him to the job past years and they will be finally able to look at what coaching potential they have in him.
Thats exactly what i was thinking about, looks like Jarmo was nurturing Vogelhuber for that role and will continue to do so. I personally dont see Letestu to take that job straight away after a single season as Ass.Coach but i may be wrong and Mark was the one more in charge. I would not leave out possibility of seeing three of Vogelhuber, Letestu, Boll and Dorsett on the Cleveland’s bench next year,.
Slow down Mikey, I was exhausted just reading your enthusiasm for the list of players with ties to the CBJ or central Ohio that could be on the Monsters coaching staff. I don't think having ties to the organization is a pre-requisite (perhaps just a bonus). The two most successful coaches we have had in Columbus were Hitch and Torts and neither had real CBJ connections before getting the job. I don't believe Jared Bender had any connections to Ohio, the CBJ or Cleveland hockey clubs before he was hired to coach the Monsters. I would say that was a resounding success going outside the organization.
I'm thinking it's going to be either Vogelhuber or Letestu. Vogelhuber has been here since Madden started, if they weren't high on him as a future coaching prospect, I'm thinking he would have moved on by now. I was always partial to Ryan Craig. He always had the respect of all the guys in the room when he played. He has been in Vegas so long now, I doubt he would want to move down just to be a head coach. Also, reading his bio on the Vegas site, he probably had too nice of things to say about Torts for people to want him in the organization again. I don't think having a Columbus connection is so important, Eaves actually had a very slight but humorous Cleveland connection, but it had nothing to do with his hiring. If they go outside the organization, that would be fine, too.
