Who coaches defense and who coaches PP. If it's the same person please kill me.
I've posted on the board since you had to check the newspaper for yesterday's scores and Crosby scoring race updates.

I started sowing the seeds of dissent early. Slowly. Imperceptibly. Until the whole house of cards came crashing down.
Pretty candid on Graves
Season just ended. Not expecting any staff changes for a week or two after exit interviews are complete and Dubas consults with ownership.From the presser...sounds like nothing will change. So yay!
So how, exactly, do you get younger and give these young guys an opportunity with Sully behind the bench and 12 forwards already signed?
Graves is the same player he was with those teams. This is who he is.Reminds me a bit of Paul Martin here. First year was complete garbage, settled in after that.
Coaching changes, especially easy moves like assistants leaving, are usually pretty instant after the season, no?Season just ended. Not expecting any staff changes for a week or two after exit interviews are complete and Dubas consults with ownership.
And I am sure that will come up when all the reviews are done. Its not like there is someone we have to sign in that role right now or risk losing. For all we know Toronto might can Keefe in 2 weeks and Dubas convinces FSG to let him hire Keefe. There is nothing to gain and nothing to lose by conducting a thorough year end review.Coaching changes, especially easy moves like assistants leaving, are usually pretty instant after the season, no?
It should take 5 seconds to say the PP was an utter embarrassment and Todd is gone. It would be literal insanity if he is back.
I will be curious as to this as well. You can say you want to get younger, as he had been, but you actually have to do it.So how, exactly, do you get younger and give these young guys an opportunity with Sully behind the bench and 12 forwards already signed?
The trick is to say one thing and do the opposite.So how, exactly, do you get younger and give these young guys an opportunity with Sully behind the bench and 12 forwards already signed?

Jeff Carter. Book it.EDIT: Maybe they bring in a powerplay "specialist" for the staff. Hard to imagine it not being some good-buddy, though.
It was nice to hear him talk nicely about several young players however, if they truly want to be using those guys and seeing what they have, that starts with NOT signing guys like Nieto and Acciari. In addition to providing zero offense, they block the roster spot for the young guys. If they want youth, they need to figure out (or force) how to get them into the lineup besides when there are injuries. 2016 - great example, they were able to rotate Sheary, Rust, Wilson, and Kuhnhackl a couple times. (true they were there because of injuries, but LONG TERM injuries and retirement. There was no wondering if Duper was coming back or Porter).These press conferences always amuse me because it seems like Dubas genuinely wants to see what some of the WBS guys can do at the NHL level. Then the coach who we can’t even have a discussion about removing doesn’t give them a fair shake. It’s bizarre.
Does Jeff Carter have a son?Again, if you want to get younger...get younger. Play younger players.
Sully would be more interested in an older brother or uncle.Does Jeff Carter have a son?
Yeah sounds like Letang might need major surgery. Not great. If he does, hopefully they can do it sooner than later.We don't know what the plans are except signing Sid. Next the coaches will be replaced. NO way dubas accepts that PP and OT performance. I also think Sullivan will be told junk the system and play 2024 hockey. Bigger faster younger. Pens with a couple smart moves here Pens can be in the playoffs next year. But man how long can they hang with Letang who was hurt all year. Malkin who is sliding even with Bunting helping him.
Hey did you get your check for spreading officially approved negativity points yet? Mine’s late.I've posted on the board since you had to check the newspaper for yesterday's scores and Crosby scoring race updates.
