GDT: FA Frenzy Day 3 and beyond (where does Nino go)

[Lempo]

Imagine if they could get Kyle Connor

Isn't the Peg unloading pretty much all their talent elsewise? Dubois not staying, Scheifele looking "what's best for his career"... I doubt they'll let Connor and Ehlers go, too, if they can help it.

I think they want to offload Schiefele, Wheeler and PLD. Im not sure they are going through a full reset though.

I doubt guys like Ehlers, Connors, etc are moved.

I could see them letting Ehlers go for the right offer.

 

[Discipline Daddy]

I would pay significant assets to get Connor. Ehlers would be amazing too, but he's less of a need on this team.

These players don't come for free. I wonder if we could swing Teuvo for Ehlers? Similar stats and Ehlers is signed for one more year. Probably the Jets wouldn't do it and probably not worth upsetting Aho's chemistry.

Connor is one of only a few NHLers I'd give Jarvis for. But I think he's the last guy the Jets would trade.

We gonna lose him:

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

We gonna lose him:

disappointing if we would keep Daniels over him. Good for Wars if he gets it.

 

[Unsustainable]

He should have been AC here

 

[Sigurd]

He should have been AC here

Good old boys club.

I doubt they offered him the job, but maybe, just maybe, he turned it down because he wants to be a head coach in the NHL and not assistant coach.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

As we've seen with others (Waddell, Tulsky, various players like Dougie, etc....) this team seems to allow its personnel to go out and see what opportunities exist for them. If they feel that the person is critical to the success, they'll work to keep them.

If not, like Vellucci before him, they'll wish him well and go find another coach

 

[Svechhammer]

With how bad the PP has been, I'm genuinely surprised we're keeping Daniels around for another year

 

[raynman]

Do we even know for certain that Daniels is the PP coach? Rod likes to let guys play through it when they’re struggling (the top guys anyway). Rod might see the early season successes and thinks they just need to keep powering through

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

After mentioning Vellucci, I looked up what his AC role was in Pittsburgh.

• In his second season as an assistant coach, primarily working with the team's forwards and penalty kill unit

I guess I always just assumed that the forward's coach worked the PP and the defensive coach worked the PK, but I guess that was a bad assumption. I do think I recall Brindy mentioning Gleason and the PK though.

Poking around trying to find some solid info as to who actually runs the Hurricanes PP and there isn't that much out there about defined roles for assistants. The only thing I could find was from a Canes Country article that said Rod ran the PP.

This April - 2022 article from NBC sports has some quotes from Rod about how abysmal the PP had become at that point in the season. Reiterates what @raynman said above about Rod letting guys play through it.

Hurricanes chasing spark for struggling power play

The Hurricanes have managed one goal with the man advantage in the month of April.

I really feel like teams just starting putting a ton of pressure on TDA or whoever was running the point and the PP pretty much went to shit as a result. Maybe I'm misremembering but I feel like there were a ton of passes picked off from down low back out to the point late into the season and throughout the playoffs. I don't know if it was a lack of confidence or what but it seemed like as soon as a point shot got through the forwards were looking to kick it back out asap, a little hot potato action going on. If felt like they weren't doing a great job of cycling down low and relied too much on the point to generate scoring chances. Which would make it a lot easier for the other team to defend?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

If Kadri is in the bag for the Islanders, I hope they grossly over pay him, he proves last season was just a 1 time thing, and we can offer sheet Romanov because they cant clear cap fast enough because of the how pricey it is.

I don't think it was so much a lack of confidence as it was adjustments made to opposition PKs. In the regular season the more you see a teams units (giggity) the more you can adjust to them and that stands doubly so in a long playoff series where you know special teams are going to be the determining factor. I think much of the reason that Patches was brought in is that we really don't have that one guy that stands out as a goal scorer for all the depth of talent that is on this team. Too many playmakers, not enough selfishness at times from guys that do have solid shots (thinking Necas, Turbo, and Svech here mostly, somewhat with Aho too even) looking for the perfect pass instead of a simply good shot.

That and not much movement. Guys hanging on the perineter, no cutting to net, etc.

I thought Gleason was the PP coach? I also believe our problem with our PP is we don’t have that rocket shot from the dot. We shoot from the point instead of concentrating on a shot in the high scoring zones. Hopefully Patch will help solve that problem

Why on earth would you think Tim Gleason is the PP coach?

Im pretty sure Gleason is the defense and PK guy.

 

[A Star is Burns]

If Warsofsky leaves for another good opportunity, good for him. As much as he might look like a good, promising young coach, I can't say we've missed any of the other AHL coaches we've lost.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

next we hire UMASS HC to the same position in Chicago cuz we want to make sure Morrow signs

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Why on earth would you think Tim Gleason is the PP coach?

Evidence #1 that maybe he is: the PP

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I was curious who they all were.

Albany:
Tom Rowe --> CAR Assistant-->KHL HC-->San Antonio AHL HC -->Portland AHL HC-->FLA HC (disaster)-->Austria HC--> out of hockey?
Jeff Daniels - we all know where he is

Charlotte Checkers:
Jeff Daniels -we all know where he is
Mark Morris -->St. Lawrence Univ.-->fired in 2019
Ulf Samuelsson --> CHI Assistant-->Kraken Scout-->Leksands IF HC--> FLA Assistant
Mike Vellucci --> WBS AHL HC --> PIT Assistant
Ryan Warsofsky

Chicago
Ryan Warsofsky

 

[Svechhammer]

Probably can go ahead and scratch him off the list for us....

Also, sets a benchmark for Necas.....

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Im pretty sure Gleason is the defense and PK guy.

Isn’t he the goalie coach?
