Speculation: Our Next Head Coach(es)

[NJDevs26]

Probably but if Pete was such a fait accompli there I don't know why they haven't just up and hired him yet the minute Babcock took the Toronto job. Maybe waiting on Hitch/Julien too? Who knows

Hitch is already settled. He signed a one year deal today.

Only question mark left is Julian. San Jose seems to be going through a long list of guys (they even talked to Oates for some unearthly reason) and Disco Dan as well.

Yeah I know, but they weren't literally going to hire Pete two seconds after Hitch re-upped.

And technically Detroit's still a question mark though everyone assumes Blashill once they're done with the AHL playoffs.

I'd still be shocked if Pete is hired as an NHL head coach this offseason.

And I don't think Oates will be either.

I'm thinking the Sharks go with an NCAA/minor league guy for their new head coach.

I do think that is who they settle on.

Buffalo will think paying Disco Dan is a "splash" and Shero will get his man out of Pitt.

Has Detroit interviewed anyone else yet?

I wonder if Andy Murray is interested in getting back to the NHL?

Has anyone been checking Potvin's tweets lately?

Kovy to Devils?

 

[Devils Dominion]

Potvin was the first to break the Kovy trade.

 

[MadDevil]

Kovy to Devils?

That's why we're signing Russians.

potvin? denis?

 

[Tretyak 20]

potvin? denis?

Felix?

 

[thethinglonger]

Which Potvin?

 

[Drewr15]

yeah I can't really find a Potvin account that is real that has more than 4 tweets.

 

[Lou's Koolaid]

Which Potvin?

The one that sucks!

 

[Captain Lou]

According to the usually pretty reliable Pierre Lebrun DeBoer is going to be the Sharks next head coach

Well that'll be an interesting thing in San Jose. I can't imagine he's a better coach than McLellan but it's a new face so maybe that's the rationale.

Bleed is going to freak out if this is true.

I knew he would get a job this summer, all the best to Pete.

Oh boy I can't wait for your next post

Honestly I'm glad if he got a job it was the Sharks...it's a no lose in my book. Either he proves THE HYPE correct and win with a team I actually would like to win aside from us, or he flames out for good and we no longer have to debate how brilliant he is based off one playoff run in eight years.

 

[Captain Lou]

Let's get some compensation for him and send it over to Pitt for Hynes.

Can you all share the Potvin account and its news?

What does it say exactly and what's his twitter handle?
