Management Per Russo: John Hynes to replace Evason

Circulartheory said:
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.

Generally I stay off of other teams boards, but since one of quotes was drug here I'll try to explain a bit and then move back into the shadows unless someone asks me something directly ( and I don't mind answering messages ).

I had the line of thinking you did when we brought Hynes in, Hall had his best season with him, New Jersey didn't have much, etc. It works for a while but you will quickly see why NJ and Nashville fans feel about him the way they do.

Just like with Hall in NJ he happened to have his best season in spite of Hynes rather than because of him. He was also given all the minutes he could handle and was given free reign to do what he wanted. It's the same reason Josi, Duchene, and Forsberg had their best seasons ( although Forsberg is blowing that out of the water currently ) under him.

The talk of the prospects comes to this, he will play the Vets over a young guy every single time, even if the younger player is out performing the Vet. He won't play the younger guys unless he is forced to ( was due to injury in Nashville ). We saw it with Tolvanen, Tomasino, and Fabbro. He will play the tweeners that have " grit " over the skill guys, and will want the skill guys to hit more.

Nothing wrong with giving a new coach the benefit of the doubt, several of us did with Hynes and ended up being some of the most vocal to get him out of town by the end.

Someone on the main board just suggested he will ruin our prospects. That would be just what we need now that Rossi has found his game.


Don't tease me with a good time.

In his defense (not really), but Evason wasn't really doing them any good either. Rossi starting to succeed seemed more in spite of Dean than due to him.

Incidentally, I typed this out before seeing the dude that said almost the exact same thing about Hynes. Weird. Not Wild.

Well, if all the players play like all stars next game, and Kap scores a hatty, we know they all hated Dean.

At least if Hynes does poorly, they might be able to bring in a new coach in the offseason.

I’ll wait to reserve judgement on him until he’s got some experience with this roster though. You’re almost never going to see positive opinions about a fired coach.
 
at first i thought we hired john hines from k102, seriously i think guerin is just trying to protect his phoney boloney job (i didn't get a harrrumfff out of that guy)

Wow, a lot of Devils and Preds fans hate this guy. Probably doesn’t bode well.

But did the players respond well? GMBG creates a country club and now he’s going with guy who wants grit over speed??? What grit? Zuc, Rossi, Kap, Boldy, Johanssen,Spurgeon, Merrill?

He should look like a hero because it can’t really get any worse right now coaching wise.

Minnesota Penguins.

Is this organization allergic to coaches with a good record in playoffs?

I wouldn't trust our GM to pick Celebrini. Would probably go off-board to draft more toughness. Or some kid born in Pittsburgh.

Logan Cooley was born in Pittsburgh, wish Guerin would put as much effort into getting him as he does getting all his old Penguin Pals

I don’t see Hynes as a downgrade, maybe a very slight upgrade at best. At the very least I’m hoping team gets defensively back to where they were.
 
Oh wait.. you're serious? Let me laugh harder.

Guerin needs out now...but it's too late. Bye bye Kaprizov.
