Edmundson returning will hopefully help tighten things up on defense. Flames look pretty fast on paper so hopefully Blues can handle it. LGB
None of it was/has been confirmed (outside of Jerabek telling reporters that he was "in" just a few minutes ago). So the only comment we have from Dunn is "No comment".
I dont' see how Tippett's adviser position would keep him from pursuing a head coaching opportunity if one is available. The caveat would be if he has already accepted the head coaching position there, but its not official yet. (If so, I think he would be a good choice for them, but until then he should be on everyone's list for coaching vacancies.)Lol. Yeah, try to paint me as the triggered one.
Just an FYI, if we're going to talk about coaching options let's talk about people who are actually available and not people in retirement. I thought this would be common sense but I guess not.
As far as I know, there was a reporter who asked Dunn, and said, "there was a terse 'no comment'". We're running with that. Who wouldn't be upset at being a healthy scratch? But there's nothing to indicate he's had some unusual response to that news, let alone even an official confirmation of the fact. Sounds like its the plan, but Yeo was hedging when asked.some one made the comment that Dunn has known he was not playing tonight and he was pissed about it.

I don't think he's on the hot seat. Not after 2 games. But I do think everyone in the organization has high expectations for this year, and will not tolerate mediocre play. If this team doesn't look like a safe playoff team after a couple months, I think we'll see something change.Interesting that so many believe that Yeo is on the hot seat already.
If I thought there was a chance of moving on anytime soon then I'd be a Flames fan tonight.

So if they do fire Yeo then who??
In the past 10 years, Tippett's claim to fame is making it to the WCF one time. All the other years he either missed the playoffs (6 times) or lost in the first round (twice).Bingo. Outstanding comment.
Armstrong hired Tippett in Dallas and worked with him for 6 seasons. So clearly there is a great working relationship there.
To me, he is an option unless he is locked in to be Seattle's next coach. He isn't...right now. Right now he is just helping Seattle design their infrastructure.
Yes, and he did it with a pretty weak roster in Arizona. He got a lot more out of less than most coaches would have in the same situation.In the past 10 years, Tippett's claim to fame is making it to the WCF one time.

The game has passed him by. He'a defensive-minded dinosaur of a coach at this point. I don't even know why you'd want the guy so I'm trying to be optimistic here that he isn't an option. But you do you.
Riiight, a team that he did absolutely nothing with any other year... That year was pretty clearly more of a fluke than showcasing his actual ability.Yes, and he did it with a pretty weak roster in Arizona. He got a lot more out of less than most coaches would have in the same situation.
Doesn't mean he is a good coach though. Mike Smith stood on his head that playoff run.Yes, and he did it with a pretty weak roster in Arizona. He got a lot more out of less than most coaches would have in the same situation.

Evan Sporer wrote a great article in the Athletic on why the Blues have been defensively challenged through actually analysis instead of hyperbole. Basically, he points out with the "offense first" mentality, that just a simple poke check has put the Blues on the wrong side of too many plays coming back the other way. Comes down to the Blues may need to temper their aggressiveness on the offense to allow a little more strength on the backend.
Maybe he can come talk to Yeo...
