Interim Coaching Shuffle

[NinjaTurtle]

Didn’t see this topic anywhere.

Brad Larsen has gone on indefinite leave of absence. The organization is supportive but needs to maintain adequate coaching so they’ve promote AHL head coach Trent Cull to interim NHL assistant coach.

Joe Cirella becomes interim AHL head coach and Martin Gélinas interim AHL assistant coach (developmental coach).

Will Trent Cull succeed and stick at the NHL level afterwards?

Cirella has been coaching for 21 years but always as an assistant. Will this affect the Wranglers success and that of our prospects developing?

Hope everything is alright with Larsen and his family.

Cull has done a real good job with the Wranglers and Cirella has been with the AHL team longer than anyone not named Brad Pascal I think. Don't hate the idea of Huska having some more time with Cull to get his read on our prospects and who should be next on the callup list.

Yeah saw a couple videos on the yt channel last night. All the best to Larsen and his fam.

Good op for Cull and the organization at large to utilize him w the big club for a bit before heading back down.

Continuing my trip down memory lane, specifically the 04 team, and thing of Gelinas....why is he only a AHL "intern" assistant coach? I guess he has no intention of coaching anymore?

He prefer the player development side, he's just stepping in to help out while we're down a coach. I do like that they are giving Cull a look with the NHL team instead of Gelinas
