Confirmed with Link: Jay Woodcroft and Dave Manson fired - no more Woody during NNN - Kris Knoblauch hired, Coffey as assistant

[Jumptheshark]

His connection to McDavid…

okay--I am at work and have limited access to sites right now--I assume he was his Pee Wee coach or something?

 

[LTIR]

Weight reportedly wants a management role and that is why his time ran out in NY as he wanted to move up--this was a story from a few years ago so I am not sure if it has changed

Can he be worse than Holland?

 

[McBigYak]

I think everyone here needs to take a deep breath and just admit the fact they have absolutely no clue how good or bad this hire is because they have no idea about Knoblauch.

AHL record is somewhat indicative of a coach yes but lets be honest, nobody here has kept up on the roster of the Wolf Pack. It could have been awful.

 

[orangewinter]

well its nicer woodcraft is gone , but its an underwhelming hire.

 

[ConnorNova0929]

So Coffey is an assistant coach but he is second in the hockey ops pecking order according to the hockey ops website order. They've already removed Woody and Manson from the site, cold lol.

So is he the boss of the head coach even though he's the assistant coach?

 

[KCC]

Jeff Jackson is a joke

McDavids OHL coach

Paul Coffey?? I mean seriously??

Ken Holland somehow still had a job

Never a dull moment as an oilers fan that’s for sure. Lol

 

[McTonyBrar]

And my source was right lol

 

[iCanada]

Who the f*** is Krus Knoblauch?

This is a serious question

Bit of a left field hiring unless I am missing something

McDavid's coach from junior.

 

[Jumptheshark]

If they’re scared about him leaving then it’s already over.

well they hired his agent--that right there tells ya everything

 

[XXIV97]

Unlike previous coaches, I actually like Woodcroft. He will be a good coach in the NHL.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

High risk high reward. trading chances and hoping you score more than the opposing team. Which won’t be successful without a good goalie or with Schwartz still here.

Could that also be how he deployed it in the OHL because he had a stacked team that could just outscore all their problems?

 

[tardigrade81]

From Woody to Knob

Lmao

 

[Mav3rick07]

So it’s confirmed that McDrai are coach killers ?

 

[Old Boys Club]

This team won't win a damn thing with Katz as owner.

 

[Faelko]

okay--I am at work and have limited access to sites right now--I assume he was his Pee Wee coach or something?

Junior coach to go with his Junior teammate and his agent…can’t make this stuff up…lol

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

well they hired his agent--that right there tells ya everything

More concerned about keeping McDavid happy than winning hockey games.

f*** this team.

 

[KCC]

AHL record is somewhat indicative of a coach yes but lets be honest, nobody here has kept up on the roster of the Wolf Pack. It could have been awful.

It’s not so much the new hire as ppl are sick and tired of holland and shwartz are still around.

 

[frag2]

And my source was right lol

Now ask your source about new goalie dammit!

 

[rboomercat90]

Stauffer just exploded

Who is this guy?

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I wonder if the logic for adding Coffey to the bench is as simple as Coffey made a speech before the heritage classic, we ended up winning, and they think he inspired them that much? Wouldn’t shock me

 

[flashy]

Woodcroft this morning

 

[GreeningOil]

And my source was right lol

Is your source coach Knoblauch?

 

[LTIR]

Been a good year financially for McDavid's old agent, old coach and old linemate

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This team won't win a damn thing with Katz as owner.

They sure won’t.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Wonder what team snaps up Woody
