So have we hired Sullivan to be assistant coach yet? he can be head coach and assistant coach.

Big Jeff Carter will be our next assistant coach and 1st line PP specialist. A modern day Reg Dunlap, but you know…shittier.

There’s probably no rush but I don’t think more candidates will be available in a month than there are now. The remaining NHL teams aren’t making any changes behind the bench, so maybe they’re waiting for the AHL season to finish? Eye on Todd Nelson or Karl Taylor perhaps.
Sturm seems intriguing too and has a tie to Sullivan, but maybe he’s still in consideration for a head coaching job or two.

I've been all over Nodd Telson since you mentioned him a while back. We could use a guy that's thrived on the PP of every team he's coached on. He seems like a no brainer to me.

It was always either going to be Quinn or some guy from the Soo. It might work out with Quinn being an assistant but besides the Karlsson trade, not a lot of ‘outside the box’ thinking from Dubas IMO.

Least surprising thing ever. FSG bought this team because of the similarities in colors to the Bruins and now filling the bench with Boston guys. Kinda hilarious

Literally the easiest thing to predict the second Quinn was fired. Also a clear indication that Sully is running this organization still. Glad he gets to hang out with his BFF now. Would hate to have him experience some uncomfortableness.

We now know for sure that Sullivan is the one actually running this organization…..ownership for all three of the Pittsburgh sports teams is pathetic lol

I mean... would this REALLY be that surprising to anyone?
Would it be the wrong or at least extremely underwhelming hire? Of course! But that's how we do things in Pittsburgh. Anyone who actually thought Dubas was going to start flexing on Sullivan can go ahead and drop that notion.
Still has to actually happen, of course. I have no idea who Arthur Staple is.

He’s like a good version of Yohe for the Isles and Rangers.

Behind fired college football coach, Dubas has the best job in sports. Literally getting paid millions just to hang out

There will be "I told you so's" Bet on it
What happened to the City of Pittsburgh? Mockery at it's finest.

Just be patient and give him this summer. He’ll somehow figure it out in year 8.
