Honestly I expect Nash gets a free pass no matter what. He's far enough removed from the top decision makers that he doesn't have to sink with the current ship.
Wasn't that an earlier statement right after the whole thing blew up? Don't think it's been a recent line of investigation (based on what people are saying, obviously we don't know anything...).
It seems to me that the NHLPA is trying to save face. I say that because of this line in the article from Portzline:
NHLPA speaks with Blue Jackets players following Babcock allegations
Babcock has denied the report that he scrolled through players' cell phone pictures in an attempt to "know what type of person you are."theathletic.com
A question I have is if the CBJ player notified the NHLPA and it was someone in the NHLPA who leaked to Bissonette.
If so, that's a pretty big breach of protocol for what should be a confidential process.
It's very much possible that Babcock treated Nash well. They didnt spend that much time together. He wont be and shouldnt be punished for that.
Never. His hockey is "run and shoot".
Honestly? If they DO fire Babs and want to go for an outside hire, yeah, I’m on board.
Zero experiences in NA hockey.
Would it be as a interim coach and have this season as a tryout or since he was considered in the running, just give him an extension and name him HC? If interim and he does well, possibility another team swoops in? I can't remember his contract status.
I seemingly look at things completely different than the people who now look at Babcock less/worse than they did so before this “situation”.
AI with extended reality instructions on the visor (shifts, moment, speed and direction of throwing the puck, coordination of the line, PK/PP units, all aspects of game), would be the best coach. AI can also take into account the wishes of fans, give comments and explanations in real time individually to each fan. Time to negotiate with NHL and NVIDIA
