Skeptical because he lost the room in Minnesota being a players coach. Only 250 game as head coach with Minnesota, when DW touted experience as an NHL HC. I thought even worse of Jay Woodcroft, this team needs defensive structure and is Evanson known as that ???Unless you're youngguns.
Correct on the negativity but my choice as a fan. I feel like the CBJ is settling for 2nd place like they always do instead of going after the guy they want.Love the hire, he's passionate and takes chances.
Very different than Larsen and Vincent.
Looking forward to seeing what he can do with this crop of forwards.
And look at some of the negativity already.....
Did he lose the room or did the team simply hit a rough spot in his last season?Skeptical because he lost the room in Minnesota being a players coach.

And was Todd McLellan really ?Correct on the negativity but my choice as a fan. I feel like the CBJ is settling for 2nd place like they always do instead of going after the guy they want.
Only?Only 250 game as head coach with Minnesota,
I am happy for you but got the same feeling when we hired Larsen and VincentDid he lose the room or did the team simply hit a rough spot in his last season?
BTW, I am happy about the hire, now DW can focus on getting Marchenko signed.
Yep - different expectations. Do you consider Sillinger a salty veteran-nope. See the differenceOnly?
Other than Torts and Hitch, wouldn’t he be the third most tenured coach in franchise history at the time of being hired?I am happy for you but got the same feeling when we hired Larsen and Vincent
Yep - different expectations
Wouldn’t have been if they went with their 1st choice.Other than Torts and Hitch, wouldn’t he be the third most tenured coach in franchise history at the time of being hired?
You’re right. McLellan would have been first.Wouldn’t have been if they went with their 1st choice.
We don't actually know that MacLellan would have been the #1 option. If they interviewed all three, Evason might have beaten MacLellan anyways.Correct on the negativity but my choice as a fan. I feel like the CBJ is settling for 2nd place like they always do instead of going after the guy they want.
I’m for the hire, but if he keeps McCarthy he’ll deserve his fate.My prediction if they keep the assistant coaches. He will be fired after 2 mediocre seasons
Mediocre would be an improvementMy prediction if they keep the assistant coaches. He will be fired after 2 mediocre seasons
