Can't just drop someone with no coaching experience into a head coach position

Love Hossa and I do believe he could become a fantastic coach but his first job as coach, should NOT be as HC. If Hossa wants to get his feet wet in coaching with Indy or Rockford, I would love that. Those young players learning from Hossa would be amazing.

With that said, does Hossa even want to go into coaching?

Montreal did it with Martin St. Louis. So it’s not completely unprecedented.

LuRich is waiting for Allan to make some tiny error before benching him like he did with Reichel when he got a shot blocked.

Reichel hasn't done diddly squat in over 2 years. It wasn't just "some tiny error" with Lukas.

He was working under Torts coaching.

Also, Hossa owns businesses or some places in Slovakia. If he didn't have those things, he likely would be working for the team.

it was a joke about hossa, obviously fire richardson and appoint an interim mid year if they dont show growth

Hossa to me seems like the kind of guy who if he wanted to get into coaching he would have started that path by now. Not sure I see it happening.

Although I do think he has the makings to be a great coach.

Yeah, I'd probably agree with that. I wonder if when his kids get older if that's when he gets back into the NHL in some capacity. If not then, then I'd bet it just never happens. I'd love to see him around again, though.
