I'm hoping this is just Murray doing his friend a solid, and throwing him an obligatory interview out of respect. I can't see anything logical about Carlyle coming back here other than "encouraging" the twins to waive their NMC's.

Same. I'm hoping this is just a courtesy to RC because he's a regular at Honda Center and lives in the area.
 
Does this mean the pendulum has swung the other way and Murray is going to hire Carlyle, then fill the team with soft, 1-way scorers?

What's Erik Christensen up to these days?
 
So let's just say for the sake of this franchise hope RC is hired over the other AHL options.
Would be OK with Hunter because of the Perry connection but unlikely

it's not 2007 anymore, you may as well hire mike keenan. we all know carlyle's stubborness and he will NOT change his system or how he coaches he should not even be getting interviewed, murray already knows him
 
Hell, call up Farrish and Brown. Rehire Tim Clark and Sean Skahan, too. Offer JS, Pronger, Nieds and Teemu pro tryouts. Let's bring the hole gang back together!

One thing I'll sat about RC was that he did adapt in Toronto and played probably the only style that could win them games. I think he might not be that bad if he landed in Calgary. Just not here, not with this team.
 
I'm actually not totally against Carlyle, but I am completely against Carlyle with Murray at the helm.

If for example we got Brian Burke back and he commits to building a team for Carlyle, that could be fine.

That's the trick. Finding a coach who can work with whatever crap Murray throws at the wall this offseason.

Burke and Carlyle had their flaws, but they envisioned the same type of Ducks hockey, I felt.

With Murray, he has no direction for this team and as long as that continues, along with our piss poor leadership, whoever our coach is will be doomed.

Murray's not the problem I have with it. He made the team quite soft towards the end of Carlyle's tenure, but the last three years there's been a pretty clear direction: tougher to play against.

Just don't like him with this group. Doesn't really jive with his strengths IMO. And, of course, there's the whole Getzlaf and Perry thing.
 
What's Wilson up to? He's done pretty well when he's got a decent team to coach. If there was one former coach I'd want back (other than Babcock which simply isn't going to happen) it'd be him.
 
Anyone but me think this could be a political move?

Maybe he wants Getzlaf/perry to waive a NMC or Getzlaf to take his offseason training program more seriously and the Carlyle interview is a threat?

Yeah, I know I might be stretching here, but given Getzlaf/perry history with Carlyle, it's hard not to think there is an ulterior motive.

And I agree, that Carlyle seems like a terrible choice for this team.

Getzlaf and Perry can careless, they are probably kicking back drinking some brews right now eating some donuts and **** laughing at this fiasco.
 
I can't believe they're even considering Carlyle. Seriously, I can't.

That's a joke, right?

RIGHT?

Friedman had a blurb in 30 thoughts about it. The two are apparently close, so could just be a courtesy. Then again, Murray didn't really want to fire him the first time, but felt he had to, although that also could be because of their personal relationship.

They seem to have interviewed quite a few guys, and they're taking their time, so perhaps it really is just an extensive search. Probably a decent sign they interviewed him this late in the game, and at the combine, instead of right after BBs firing and in Anaheim.
 
I don't think I'd mind Carlyle again. Our team was never known as any sort of playoff choker with him leading it, quite the opposite actually.

He demands the players work and play whatever system he has, and if they don't there is an issue. That sounds good to me.
 
Trying to look at this with a glass half full. Our current forwards are actually right up Carlyle's wheelhouse.

Dominant First Line: (Perron) - Getzlaf - Perry

Offensive Second Line: X - Rakell - X

Defensive Third Line: Cogliano - Kesler - Silfverberg

Grinder Fourth Line: Garbutt - Thompson - Wagner

So we have no money and no 2nd line and Rakell shouldn't be a center
