Not all of the players will still be on the team. The first and second liners and first 2 D pairs maybe; however, the 3rd and 4th liners and 3rd pair D have paid the price before because they are easy prey.
GMs too.
I think the team needs a communicator who can establish a solid defensive system, communicate each player's role in that system, and hold players accountable for doing what they have been told to do. A "motivator" would also be helpful. An experienced coaching staff too; preferable a previously successful one. Of course that would cost a high salaried coaching staff.
I doubt that Staios would fire the coaching staff before at least 10 games have been played, and more likely after 20 games (about 25% of the season).
Hiring a coach is not a "day-to-day" type of decision because it has longer term consequences; so I am certain Staios would have a major role in determining who the next coach and assistant coaches will be.
I understand the reporting relationship on paper, thanks.
PD is still the GM, and if he feels a coaching change is warranted, he will logically inform the POHO, to make his case for the change, and more than likely the POHO will green light the change.
I think some GMs have more leeway than Dorion currently has.
Moving on from Capuano because he was being considered as a head coach for another team does not make sense to me.
Moving on from him wouldn't be because of that, youove on the bring in fresh voices. We actively prevented him from interviews blocking him from a potential promotion and locking us in on the same voices. The timing is more of a coincidence, it happened around the time I'd have looked into bringing in a new voice. Allowing him to move on would have opened that door for us without the stigma of firing the old voice.
I think Staios is the new GM in every way except title at this time. Dorion is sinking and will likely be gone soon.
I agree with changing the coaching staff. It should have been done before extending DJ's contract. Dorion should have been released without signing a new contract extension too.
IF this was true, why keep PD around?
PD has a contract for this season and next. SS is likely conducting a review and assessing the staff under his control and will likely make changes he thinks are required to become "best in class" which Andlauer stated was a major goal for the organization.
Bang on post!
The thing we don t know. If the skill was already shedule for this morning or they have change plan
as noted by Syl St. L., it looks like a regular practice. Maybe it's just the players' discretion to run the normal drills, but it's intriguing.
Well. If we play like we did against Detroit we will win more than lose. If we play like we did against penguins we will lose more.
Has this happened in the last 4 years.? Feel like it would have been reported on
