So, yeah, he wasn't my first choice, but he was my I'm-perfectly-happy-with-this-alternative guy, so it's all good.I prefer McLellan as the "safe" pick and am kind of disappointed that's not working out, but Evason also looks really really good.
I would imagine his main job is to develop the kids. Sillinger, Jiricek, Johnson, Fantelli, etc. And get Gaudreau going.I think this could be a decent hire. He had some pretty impressive results with a pretty meh Minnesota roster.
That would actually be a workload relief for Jenner, so we're all for it.Mathieu Olivier and Boone Jenner are going to play 20 minutes a night aren’t they
In Boone's case, that would actually be a welcome relief.Mathieu Olivier and Boone Jenner are going to play 20 minutes a night aren’t they
I don't think any CBJ fans are expecting the team to sniff the playoffs this year. Just hopefully not be bottom-5, see development in the young players, and be moderately healthy for a change.Expecting Columbus to elevate their floor with this hire, they should compete for a playoff spot this year, but I wouldn't expect them to ever be a real threat to make a run [with Evason as the HC]
Or, because the organization is so inept, they have actually accidentally fallen into the better option.Again the CBJ goes the cheaper option and settles for their 2nd choice. Now I expecting to hear they will retain nthe assistant coaches to make sure it is a failure and he is let go after 2years of mediocre results.
