Hynes has potential to be a serviceable nhl head coach but Nas and Ward are bush league.

Yes and it's total bull****. Tim Howard is one of the most egregious offenders when it comes to keepers abusing their defenders. Plenty of times the goal is on the keeper but you don't see him say that one's on me, he turns to his backline and curses them off.
Um it’s been like this for three years. Defensive strategy is garbage. This coaching staff is mediocre at best.
How common is it for a head coach to remain after his support staff is dismissed though? Seems like a fantasy, I don’t see it happening.i'd like to see hynes with better assistant coaches. aside from the zacha debacle i generally like his personnel moves, he holds people accountable and isn't afraid to bench vets or push them down the lineup like we're seeing with zajac now. and when they play with the aggressiveness that he seems to envision they were at the top of the league. but the defensive system and special teams could be better and that could be fixed with a better supporting coaching staff
All I know is that if we miss the playoffs this year, you can’t go into year 4 with the entire triumvirate of Hynes, Nasreddine and Ward all intact. I’d personally like to see Hynes also canned if we miss, as that would be two straight years of missing the playoffs while in a playoff spot at Thanksgiving. But at least one of those guys should probably go and sometimes after this many years, one of the assistants will go. It happens sometimes.Um it’s been like this for three years.

Hynes is a good placeholder for where we have been at as an organization. Once we regain some winning consistency for a year or two and are contenders for the playoffs and beyond, I'm not so sure he is the right option to get us over the hump, but crazier stuff has happened.

Given the average shelf life of an NHL head coach he'll probably be gone within a couple years (assuming they re-sign him) anyway. He's definitely got some frustrating quirks, but most coaches do. You'll probably find "favorites" on just about every team, and the common "why are we playing this vet over that kid", etc. Hell, I'm pretty sure we've said it about just about every coach we've had.
If you look at most successful teams, the guy behind the bench for the winning probably wasn't the guy there when they were building the team up. Once we're ready to contend we'll probably go with a more experienced coach.
Yeah I couldn’t think of an example in the nhl. I think it’s this whole coaching staff or nothing.NHL not usually but baseball I can think of a couple of examples - Bobby Valentine way back when Phillips fired his guys DURING the season, and Bruce Bochy this offseason.

A team will sometimes flush the staff instead of foreing the head coach outright. The coach is usually fired the next season....
There is no point of firing the staff but not the head coach. You aren’t going to attract quality assistants in that situation
And the same thing would have happened.
So in retrospect there was nothing wrong with a split.
You don't know that.
Cory could've stopped 2 of the goals the Rags scored and the Devils would've at least got it to OT and got an undeserved point out of it.
We'll never truly know because......Hynes.

I don't blame him last time, but next you got to really think about not doing this and seeing how it works once.Hynes did what many coaches do these days and split a back-to-back between their goalies. Let it go already.
