Around the League - 2023 Offseason Edition

I'm usually against the leaguewide recycling of old coaches, but it in this case I like Laviolette. Washington's roster was trash and he had them in a playoff spot until the injury issues were insurmountable. He's proven he can take talented teams far and Rangers have a talented team.

San Diego Avalanche has a nice ring to it.

I knowz jokez... but Avs and Nuggets are tied to Denver until 2040.

San Diego though is a prime market for either league. 2nd largest market with only one of the big 4 (Montreal is the biggest).

I prefer the Jets tie to the military town.

I agree that the NHL would be great if Patty Roy returned to it. Entertaining dude as long as it is with another franchise.

frankly we would be downgrading if he is a coach here.

People like to rip Dubas and chatter will be made about it... but people really liked working for Dubas. Including Spezza. This won't be the last. Especially as some contracts expire in 2024 and 2025.

Will be interesting to see how he approaches the game from a GM-type point of view. Didn't really expect him to go the management route to be honest though, but good on him for doing it and getting experience.

Also, nice little summer boost for Calgary fan's morale.

Great time to be a former player with zero front office experience when your former team needs a fan morale boost.

Hopefully this works out better for Iggy than it did for Linden

To be expected. Anyone thinking Stone doesn't want this is fooling themselves, too.

He is as close to the NHLs version of an NBA load management star as we will see.

OEL getting bought out. Good for the Canucks just biting the bullet and moving on from their very worst contract (and that's saying something).

And before anyone asks, NO.

The only way I want OEL is on a PTO along with Sven Andrighetto. I want to see them scrap again. Then I want them both cut.
