Panthers fan here, my question is if the management is not willing to sign and retain good players, is that the coaching staff fault? I mean you are going to be rebuilding so what expectation from the coach do you have?
I want Boucher canned for different reasons, but hard to criticize the development of Chabot, Tkachuk and White under his watch. Jaros to a lesser extent. My issue has more to do with strategy, stubbornness and deployment of players like the vets on this team, and those that have been trade outTo develop young players and put them in positions where they can learn and succeed and develop, which the current coach has historically shown a significant resistance to doing.

I would definitely buy a few home tickets to see Melnyk coach the team. It would be so, so hilariously awesome.
I can't excuse the horrible strategy of laying off the gas every time we have a lead. Boucher should go. Carlyle anyone?
I want a coach that sees what we have in prospects and says “hell yeah!” The Sens need a great coach who can develop players. Not some guy struggling to stay in the league, overplaying 4th line scrubs because they’re trusted to not make mistakes.
Who was the last bottom 6 forward this team produced?
Give Boucher some decent players.
I have a lot of respect for Boucher and belive he’s a good coach, and in a solid organization woh leadership, the support and the work ethic to win, he’s be a top NHL coach.
I am willing to bet that Melnyk is a huge fan of Carlyle's.I can't excuse the horrible strategy of laying off the gas every time we have a lead. Boucher should go. Carlyle anyone?
Gotta say JG Pageau. And hes 26.
You also think Chiasson is better than Bobby Ryan.Who was the last bottom 6 forward this team produced?

Its crazy - Boucher has lost EK, Methot and his top pairing from the ECF run, his 2 centres in Turris and Brassard. His goalie is 114 years old, and the Sens can’t even find him 12 forwards to fill out his bottom 6 and the guy gets slammed constantly.
The players are sticking together and the enthusiasm in the drsssing room is good. All credit to Boucher
Terrible idea.I can't excuse the horrible strategy of laying off the gas every time we have a lead. Boucher should go. Carlyle anyone?
Guy is toast....But the real question should be is who would be next,we know EM wants it to be on the cheap...So that kinda of limits us moving forward
Yep cant see many tenured nhl coach,s lining up for this gig..Best case scenario - someone is smart enough to realise with young talent we need a good coach.
coaches are that expensive...

Youd think after 2 straight years of being the worst team in hockey that trying to re-invent the wheel and play 11-7 would make such a smart guy think that it probably doesnt work. Not Guy he aint changin. Smarter than everyone else who cares what the results say!
And here I was worried no one would watch enough ducks games to comment on Carlyle as a coach! So...of the ducks games you've seen this season (in person or on tv), what about his coaching style leads you to this definitive opinion?Terrible idea.
