And Ben Shultron is the guy for the 3 CHL leagueSo he's the NA Rockstrom.
Bobrov and Lapointe are the top.
Billy Ryan as Director of player evaluation would be next I think.
Boisvert is the international crossover guy so next on the totem pole.
Then Rockstrom and O'Connell
Then the rest.
Riendeau is a special case as he is the goalie guy, so pretty much Boisvert level but only for goalies.
Now I hope they can hit a home run with the hire of the Rocket Head CoachFinally, we are getting quality scouting and development people in place
I cannot believe how badly this organization had fallen behind the rest of the league in this area, not to mention analytics too
I guess that what happens when you have an idiotic dinosaur running the org for 10 years with no one to question him and the French media and his cheerleaders defending him at every turn
Agree - although we got lucky that Houle left on his ownNow I hope they can hit a home run with the hire of the Rocket Head Coach
They just hired a new assistantNow I hope they can hit a home run with the hire of the Rocket Head Coach
Like I said in the other thread, it’s weird that they hired the assistant before they HC all though Jacob is really good assistant coach

He does have a great reputation as recruiter in the USDon't know much about O'Connell, is he an amazing scout? I wonder if he will help trying to recruit NCAA free agents asks he's apparently a great recruiter.
Contract negotiation or nobody was a fit?I thought that the new Rocket coach would have been name by now. They interviewed Carl Mallette for his 2nd interview July 2nd and probably other candidates too.. Don’t know what take so long
With 10 names, hard to believe no one is a fitContract negotiation or nobody was a fit?
It seems backwards but...Like I said in the other thread, it’s weird that they hired the assistant before they HC all though Jacob is really good assistant coach
Some guys either don't have it to be HC's or they simply want to be assistants.It seems backwards but...
So you want to be Head Coach of Laval we have someone who we felt was an assistant we didn't want to pass up on...
"Can you work in harmony with that?"
Is Jacob a good candidate for a HC position somewhere down the line.
It's certainly different but I wouldn't go as far as saying it's backwards. They clearly value people who "fit" in the culture they are building so they probably aren't all that interested in a HC who "needs" his guys. So when you have an opening and a person who brings something you want you hire them even if they report directly to someone who isn't hired yet.It seems backwards but...

Can’t find a nutritionist expert in that list ; I propose we bring in mama Xhekaj on the staff to feed the boys; she sure knows how to add vinegar and proteins to a recipe to build up big strong and mean boys.
