Interesting. I wonder if you stood him and Lindgren exactly the right distance apart, if you could get a puck to float in mid air between them.
That's not a comparable comparison. Messier, who I love has done nothing to earn that spot or a coaching spot. And don't get me started on Nedved.

I wonder if Drury will bring in Kevin Weekes. Weekes is well respected around the league.
I don’t know what Dan G’s coaching chops are, and I don’t think he’s going to be THE assistant coach, just one of the coaching staff. I just like the guy. He seems like a good guy to be talking to our plethora of young D men and I guy who understands what it takes to win, even if he didn’t get to the ultimate prize here. I think the big difference is letting Dan G be one of a staff of coaches on the bench and hiring an ex-NHLer with no coaching resume to be THE coach are big differences.

He was also one of those guys who wasn't physically gifted or the most talented so he had to put in the work to earn his career. Screw Rod the Bod, we need Dan the Man
Exactly. He may not have helped us to the promised land but he knows what it takes to be successful. He knows about preparation and working to exceed your skill. A LOT of our guys could use a mentor like that. I really like Dan the Man.
This.
If he can coach as well as he played for us he’d be a welcome addition. Danny G was a warrior for a long time for this franchise. Older players that played with him and against him know when he talks he’s not shooting off at the mouth. This is a guy that was a beast in the trenches. That could be very valuable for our younger defenseman. I expect him to have success much like Ulf Samuelson. When guys like that teach you things it carries weight to a player, knowing that the guy who is teaching you have his bonafides.

I'd prefer we don't try to turn Adam Fox, Zac Jones, Nils Lundkvist, and K'Andre Miller into shot blockers.

G did as Torts directed.
In London he did what rhe Hunters told.
G will be good coach if he commits.
But shouldn't be at NHL level yet. As suggested above, if this is his path, he should go to Pack, and Murph, who has history w Gallant, should become D AC w big club.

"Girardi" was trending on Twitter and I got excited, but it was about the Phillies manager not our stud.

We already know whoever will be in charge of the power play will get 1980s Ric Flair-level heat.

Not including Fox, but the others should pray they have as good a career as Girardi.
