NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

[GKJ]

I don’t think there is any history of any team firing their coach right after another coach firing to hire that guy.

Vegas did it. Bruce Cassidy was fired by the Bruins in June 2022. Eight days later, Vegas fired Pete DeBoer and hired Cassidy.

That was in the offseason, though.

*****

Vegas actually did it when they hired DeBoer, as well.

DeBoer was fired by the Sharks in December 2019 and Vegas hired him in January 2020 after firing Gerard Gallant...

The Blues kind of pulled this off in 1994. Mike Keenan wasn't fired, but he loopholed himself out of the Rangers job, and the Blues demoted their head coach, Bob Berry, to an assistant position to hire Keenan as HC and GM.

The Ducks did this to hire Bruce Boudreau, firing Randy Carlyle. Boudreau was fired by the Caps 2 days before.

Assuming the basis for the team rankings is the player rankings, there is some wonky stuff in here. Slow work day though, so why not post?

Flyers ranked 15th, previously ranked 9th.
Michkov AA, Luchanko A, Bonk/York as B. Only player listed outside the Core 4 is Zavragin as a B. Most teams above us have 3-4 additional players listed.

Michkov at 7 and that's it for us.

Of note though, Gauthier at 28 (previously 17) and Buium at 19.

Buium at 19.

Ctrl + F for Luchanko returns zero results? That can't be right.

 

[BillDineen]

York and Zavragin should be A, but it is hilarious that they are middle of the pack

 

[Larry44]

Ctrl + F for Luchanko returns zero results? That can't be right.

So none of Luchanko, York, Drysdale, Foerster or Barkey rate even a B? And Buium is AA? Good deal for Minny....
