I want him to be hired as the Oilers President of Hockey Ops just so he can fire everyone via Skype
...and if they manage to poach Davidson from us, I'd take Krueger on the Jackets instead.Glen Sather just stepped down as president of the Rangers, wonder if the Rangers are looking at Kreuger
Have to look at it from the POV of whether he delivered on his mandate from the owner. What is the goal of the team and their direction.
I do however think he would be an excellent assistant. He hasn't developed that ability to create a solid stylistic team and adapt to changes in games so I don't think a head coach gig is good for him yet.
Revisionist history only because of who followed him. Remember the old Wreck-it-Ralph thread? Plenty of Oilers fans didn't like him. I don't recall anyone lamenting the loss of Kreuger when he was canned.Won the league championship his first year in Southampton.
Came back to coach the 'Leftover' team at the World Cup of Hockey and surprised the **** out of everyone with a 2nd place finish.
Also that horrible Oilers squad he coached was almost in a playoff spot and made a massive leap the year he coached. Also managed to get Yakupov scoring at a high rate.
A lot of us Oiler fans were pretty upset he was let go.
He gets a lot out of his teams.
Is it supposed to be some kind of joke that almost everyone spells Krueger's name wrong?

Would you mind sending Paul Maurice to Buffalo then?This is the guy I want to coach Winnipeg.
Would you mind sending Paul Maurice to Buffalo then?
Pretty please?
lol
If we hire him by skype and let him fire MacT via skype, would that make it better?
Sounds good to me.Yeah, I think Maurice would help Buffalo, he is not the guy to take you to the cup, but he can develop a team.
Do we know for sure he wasn’t offered an extension?Doesn't the fact that they are not renewing his contract kind of clear up some of the mystery for you?
Why? Some guys have a passion for coaching. Yes he took 5 years off to take a role in a completely different sport but agreed to coach a team for a 2 week period while having a job in a different sport.If he decides to come back it will be for a front office job. He isn't leaving Europe to be a coach in the NHL

I just changed my mind, I don’t want him he’s part of the OBC!
LeBrun already had an article like 2 weeks ago where he interviewed Krueger and he said he may return to the NHL but in a management role. He doesn’t seem to want to coach.Do we know for sure he wasn’t offered an extension?
