The opposite of what I wanted when we have a team that's supposedly relying on a bunch of prospects to come in and fill in some gaps the next few years.

I've been reading that ... but with Nashville, their best prospects was Tolvanen, Glass, Fabbro, Trenin. I don't think they rise to the same level as Rossi, Faber etc. I think there's a strong argument that those prospects just weren't that good to begin with (Tolvanen is 8th on ATOI with Seattle). Perhaps that teams bigger problem is drafting ... and when a team is starved for talent, any prospect with any potential looks like a top six forward/top 4 dman, when in reality, you just don't have good prospects.
Lol, barely over .500 record and a worse playoff record than Dean. Guerin continues to make this team worse.

Is Wiki official?
"John Hynes (born February 10, 1975) is an American professional ice hockey coach who is the head coach of the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL). He most recently served as head coach of the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL). He also previously served as head coach of the New Jersey Devils."

That's true. I guess we'll see what the official details of his hire are. I was just voicing my suspicion, not fact.

The only logical explanation for Guerin’s stupidity is that he’s actually trying to tank the seasonReally would have preferred Gallant, but has anyone considered that maybe it’s hard to hire a coach for this team?

In his best year with NSH, he got alot out of his star players. Forsberg, Josi, Duchene, Johansen had career years during that year. And I think we have a better future young core than Nashville had.
So my concern isn't the youngsters, my biggest concern is still a Evason related problem - just how stubborn is he? Apparently he is also stubborn and that was what I was complaining the most about Dean. Again, if your prized prospect is Tolvanen, I think there's a bigger problem with your team.

This one wasn't fun to read either
Sounds like we just hired Evason with a different name

Should have pried Torch away from Philly (I have no idea how coach contracts work, maybe not even possible). Have him coach until the dead cap is gone. At least I like that guy and I don't hate seeing his face on the bench like I do Dean. I can already tell im going to hate looking at Hynes' sour f***ing mug.Really would have preferred Gallant, but has anyone considered that maybe it’s hard to hire a coach for this team?

He's not a friend of Billy, so Billy doesn't even know he exists.

When I say "we tank", I have no expectation of the GM doing anything different, I just mean I will look forward to us being bad because it hopefully means a higher draft pick
