Confirmed with Link: Coach Pete DeBoer Is Fired

[OmNomNom]

He is not an NHL coach. He is a development/ mentor type.

no offense, but says who/what though?

development wise, he already has experience with the young kids, and if we're interested in pulling some of em up, he knows how to utilize them. add barr and foligno's experience with the pro team, and he'll be well prepared, IMO

 

[JimEIV]

I think this pretty much guarantees Jagr will probably get traded and almost certainly won't be here.

I hope so. This has to happen.

[Jersey Man]

How about Jagr going old school as player/coach

Imagine the post game press conference with him

 

[Cowbell232]

If it's Kowalsky for the rest of the year, who coaches in the A?

Lou will not move one piece that creates a second hole I bet.

hello mid-to-late 2nd rounder (i hope)

 

[Traitor Zach]

lol gionta is one of the few guys that did his job on this team...

Who cares. He's a marginal player on an awful team. Good riddance.

 

[Traitor Zach]

I hope so. This has to happen.

And Zidlicky as well. I could see a new HC giving more time to the other guys.

we don't have the depth to try to ice something else for 4th liners, and i'm pretty sure most are comfortable with him slotted there, so long as ice time is reduced

i won't respond cause this is a debeor is fired thread... but lets focus on our top 9 moving forward people

Only for this season. He needs to be removed or sent back to the AHL next year. Let him go to Buffalo next year if he wants.

He is non-essential to the future.

Hope Lou is next.

i just lou is not thinking he is saving this season... this needs to be the first step in a rebuild not lets try and save this miserable season...

i still say trade greene. and at least two others for pics

woiuld edmonton give up their #1 pick of greene and our #2 or 3 next year?

 

[Combat Koala]

Finally. Merry christmas to all!

Isn't Bylsma still unemployed?

Not anymore he isnt

That is correct

no 4th line player is really essential to any team.. tweaking our 4th line is last on my wish list..

not with a shot at a superstar 1C

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I am not a fan of Bylsma

 

[Traitor Zach]

I could see a Shero/Bylsma tandem coming in this offseason if Lou finally steps aside.

 

[Devilsfan992]

The fact in the matter is there were many games where we were in position to win and didn't. That is a huge part of Pete being fired in my opinion.

 

[Cowbell232]

I am not a fan of Bylsma

Even for half a season? We need an stop gap...

 

[njdevil26]

Let's just remember for thos who want Bylsma. He had Crosby, Malkin, and Letang among others to make him look good.

 

[Combat Koala]

I am not a fan of Bylsma

Neither am I but I would still give him a chance. He can't be worse than Pete, right? This season in beyond saving so would you actually mind trying him?

 

[JimEIV]

Bylsma is a moron.
