That would be a good core to build a team in the 90’s...a coaching staff, not so much.

Oates did a very good job as an assistant in NJ and is a tremendous instructor and the same goes for Scott Stevens. But I agree on Oates — he seems like a bit of a nutty.

Didn't they have that whole co-coach situation thing going on? Don't necessarily know if I want to model what we do after Jersey :laugh:

Tippett did not get booted in Arizona. He was disgusted when Mike Smith was traded and Shane Doan was kicked to the curb. Tippett is a loyal hockey guy. He engineered his own exit.

Tippett's biggest sin was that he was sick of losing and he wanted the team to acquire more veteran players to help the team be more successful as well as help in the development of young players. He (like I) did not care for the strategy of ripping the team down to the studs. He had many games where he simply didn't have enough NHL players at his disposal. There were a number of nights the Coyotes put an AHL caliber team on the ice. Some of the worst hockey I have ever seen. It got so bad I cancelled my season tickets.

That all said, I don't think Tippett is the right choice, right now for the Rangers. He's suffered a lot of losing in his career. He wants to go to a place where he can win. This team is going to have some ups and downs in the next few years and may come out on the other side with a different coach.

Really good insight. Thank you.
 
Believe Brooks reported that the team will have an organizational meeting tomorrow. Who knows what is on that agenda. Coaching staff is probably on the docket, as well as draft prep.

Will we have to give the Leafs any compensation for Keefe?

I don't believe so. IIRC, they changed this rule a year or so ago. The last instance was after Torts was hired by Columbus and Columbus had to send Vancouver a 2nd round pick.
