You never know, Sherry Ross is not shy

Definitely not. But maybe beneficial to Keefe's marriage?

They signed Travis Green for 4 years. I don't think they are going to fire him next season.

It was mostly a joke at how terrible he is

 

[TBF1972]

What are you doing to treat that? (Gall stones, not Rangers win)

drinking a lot and peeing a lot. mostly against the msg.

She's definitely an under the radar play in terms of Women in hockey.

I have my interview with Fitz tomorrow so we'll see how it plays out

Expect to hear an announcement in the coming days

I won’t believe it until Kevin Weekes tweets a pic of himself eating a pizza while commenting on how good the cheese is in NJ.

I believe Fitz did say he wanted a coach before the draft.

 

[HersheyBob27]

Might want to look at your facts again. None of those rosters were powerhouses, not even close.



They choked under Babcock too. Care to explain that one?



Man you're just spouting nonsense

Give it up bro. You honestly didn’t realize that toronto should have beaten boston??

 

[HersheyBob27]

Same shit roster went 30-19-5 without Berube

Called a new coach bounce. Never heard of that?

 

[HersheyBob27]

Friedman said this morning that he thinks Berube is the favorite in Toronto but he also believes Treliving wants to slow down the process and not rush anything, so that checks out.

He also said that he previously thought the Devils were close to naming a coach but people told him don’t be so sure about that. He’s basically very unclear on timing/lead candidate and he’s not sure that Keefe is ready to jump right back into coaching.

Interesting. Keefe sits on sidelines collecting leaf money until dubas fires sullivan down the road. We are already stuck with mclellan or woodcroft at that point

Yup that's what he said, I have no clue where this 7-10 day number was coming from which was about 7 days ago lol.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

That timeframe came via a 32 thoughts episode from Friedman.

So far the only coaches hired elswhere is the coach we fired, and the interim coach we pretended was a candidate but actually wasn’t. It isn’t like we are letting the market slip from beneath us. It looks like we are the market setters.

So I guess that’s why Berube won a cup then

 

[Forge]

I don't want to pile on....but can I just say that it's absolutely batshit bonkers that Ottawa went out that quickly and hired Travis Green of all people? Even still, looking around at the coaches circulating and available, how many openings are still pending.....seems kind of insane to me that they went out and rushed to hire Travis freaking Green

Obviously there was either a personal connection or something that they really wanted from him. Seems odd to me but clearly he presents something different in a coaching interview than he does to the press.

Clearly he took the bounce and ran with it. You find that difficult to understand

I'm reminded of a favorite Lou quote: "when you have time, use it." He may have said a lot of other crazy shit, but he got that one right.

It would be good to have a coach in place by the Draft, but there is nothing big on the calendar before that. It's not like the new coach will be running practices in midsummer.

There is no reason to make a knee-jerk hire. This is an attractive job, and there are multiple good candidates. Fitz should take his time and evaluate the options carefully.

So some new coach bounces are good and worthy and others, not so much

Got it Bob

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

The logic is flawless as always in these discussions

Indeed

Travis Green is a hiring I would expect DorionMelnyk to make. Or at least just Dorion himself.

You would never even know Dorion was fired after the news broke that Ottawa was hiring Travis Greeb. You may not even know that Melnyk is no longer the owner, nor no longer even living.

Though Dorion made plenty of these errors after Melnyk’s passing.

Like the Korpisalo contract last offseason.

But Dorion is gone. What a miserable hire for them. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I do wonder if teams are waiting to see if other coaches become available as well.

Brind'Amour seems like a long-shot to leave Carolina, but there's some smoke there as his contract expires after this season. He'd easily be the best coach to hit the market in quite some time if he becomes available.

People were questioning Montgomery's future in Boston during the first round. Again, would be really surprised if he gets canned, but you never know.

Devils have no reason to rush it. I would argue that it is the premier HC position currently open in the league. Team with a contention window that should be opening, high-end young players, owners that seemingly are willing to pay and stay out of the way and of course much, much less media scrutiny than a place like Toronto.
