Confirmed with Link: Rangers name Jacques Martin as an Assistant Coach

[bobbop]

Like AV sharp or like Duguay sharp?

Henrik sharp!

 

[Peltz]

Over/under number of games calling for him to be fired?

On this board? I give it two full periods of a game.

Both have money issues. One thing about Arizona contracts is that unlike many teams, their contracts have backloaded cash. I agree that Dvorak is unlikely to be traded but this situation is very fluid and there may be a new GM here soon. As for Vegas, they definitely have cap issues for next year especially if they want to keep Lehner.

I assume signing bonuses are paid at the beginning of a season. Marc Staal is only owed $1.2M after that
Thanks for taking time to answer those unknowns.

 

[NYR]

Great---we have a coach older than I am.

You mean..His Jack Adams isn't older than you?

 

[TopShelf86]

He definitely gets a full season to do whatever as long as Stall and Smith are on the team
Then the fair judgment should be given after some time with a decent Left Side.

If the Rangers wanna make serious strides this year then one of them has to go.
I cant see this defense progressing with enduring another year with both of them on D. One has to go at least.

I get Stalls a longtime vet and you dont do vets dirty but what a relief Itll ll be to get fresh faces on the left side AND the team no doubt gets instantly better
It has to
Maybe dress him less games idk. I dont see them buying him out

 

[One Winged Angel]

Well, we know we'll be drafting one!

Maybe Lapierre falls and we get him with Carolina’s pick.

Think he only has a $1M signing bonus.

Yes that is correct. Bonuses paid July 1.

Staal contract 2020-21 is $1MM in bonus and $3.2MM in salary

AZ contracts, as rule, do not have many bonuses in them. Some of their highest ones they have are contracts like Stepan and Kessell that they acquired.

His Jack Adams is still in college.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

One other point about Jacques Martin....he is a sharp dresser.

Like AV sharp or like Duguay sharp?

I have always .. ALWAYS been a fan of Jacques Martin (didnt mean for that to rhyme but .oh well).

Love.. absolutely love this move.

Same this is a great hire. He is also good with youth which is good. I doubt they would have brought him in if he was a veteran type of coach

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Always thought Martin's team were stingy to play against, similar to Trotz's style. Doubly so in the post-season.

 

[RGY]

I haven’t read through all the pages, but I am seeing mixed reactions.

I absolutely LOVE this hire. EXPERIENCE. SUCCESS. This is exactly the type of hire this group needed. This is the type of hire DQ needed on his staff if he hopes to be THE coach for this group and not just the Set Up Man to the Coach who eventually leads the team to glory. Great hire. Now please trade Smith and buyout Staal. But at the very least trade Smith. And get him a competent LD.

 

[CasusBelli]

Chara, Redden, Alfredsson, Mike Fisher and Hossa were Martin products. Very excited about this.

[CasusBelli]

Big fan of this move assuming he will be in charge of the defense and PK.

I always felt that the Penguins defensive group was a good example of a coaching staff doing more with less. Their penalty kill has always been good from what I remember.

If we can bring in a competent partner for Trouba (in the mold of a player like Vince Dunn) I can see this defensive group taking a step forward with positive development from Fox, Lindgren and DeAngelo.

Chara looked like a wasted pick on the Isles. Martin changed that very quickly and revealed Milbury’s incompetence (as if the latter’s FA moves and trades hadn’t already revealed it).

Wow. He won a Jack Adams as the HC of Ottawa in '98-'99. I had no idea.

Very underrated coach. He got some very strong performances in Florida out of several young, dysfunctional teams that lacked talent — even though he missed the playoffs while there.

At least Quinn has better than in men than Arniel.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Did David Quinn possibly hire his own replacement?

 

[Thirty One]

Did David Quinn possibly hire his own replacement?

I don't think so. Martin is 76 years old and hasn't been a head coach for a bit.

 

[Edge]

Did David Quinn possibly hire his own replacement?

Doubtful.

If/when the time comes that the Rangers make a coaching change, it's likely going to be a clean sweep.

 

[Edge]

I don't think so. Martin is 76 years old and hasn't been a head coach for a bit.

Slight correction, he's 67 not 76.

Agree to disagree.
