I hope he proves us all wrong but this is disappointing

The fact that it's a Friday afternoon news dump tells you everything you need to know about this.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's a bad choice. But I don't think he's the best choice, either.

None of those teams won because of him. The Rangers were Vigneault and King Henry's team. The Capitals was Laviolette and Ovechkin. The Jets have made the playoffs consistently since 2017. They almost had a historic collapse last season, and flamed out spectacularly in the playoffs this season. Nobody was celebrating Scott Arniel as an important cog in the machine. Has he learned something in those years? Hopefully. Otherwise he wouldn't still be coaching. I hate that this is the safe, sure, loyal bet that Mark Chipman loves.
Maybe they reached out to Nelson in the last few days given his team doesn't play again until the 30th.
Bu bu but Todd Nelson! But new young coach!
Arniel was hired early when finding a new coach years ago. Was distinctly titled associate coach. This imo was always going to be the result.

I mean you could say the same about every assistant. We also really don't know how important he was to any of those teams. But yes on the face it looks like a Chipman influenced decision. I personally would have gone a different direction but I'm all for giving him a chance as well.

Bit of a bummer
Overall not too bothered by it
But hopefully we can hire Nelson on the staff as the new associate…

I imagine this is how a banana must feel.
It waits its entire life, just waiting to be picked from the tree. As it grows up, it sees all the older bananas get picked. Brother Banana, Sister Banana, and the whole Banana Brood goes before them, and the banana is hopeful to see what happens when it's finally their day to be picked.
It's only when they are picked that they realize that they're simply going to be chopped up to used in a delicious peanut butter and banana sandwich. Their disappointment must surely be immeasurable; their day is ruined.
That's a pretty solid metaphor for how I'm feeling about this coaching hire. In fact, I don't think it is humanly possible to describe it any better.

i know people have dumped on lauer and arniel for the special teams. Could it be the players in the ice? Edmonton’s PP isn’t from the coaching. Big sak was excellent on the PK here with that size and reach. Maybe its a personnel issue
Potentially.
I do know that his season with Hersey had the chance to run right basically into the Draft.
I guess the bright spot is they can now focus on personnel decisions immediately and have input from a guy who was front and center.
Either way, meh.
....
I mean, I mean, I mean.....so you really don't know how important he is, yet list all these team as if you do.
As long as Lauer is gone by Monday morning.
Can’t help but think this is another job for life and he will eventually have to quit one day before he is ever fired.

How does this system not work? We finished 4th overall in the entire NHL . Maybe our players shouldn't fold like cheap suits once the playoffs start and our Vezina goalie plays like a Vezina goalie.

61 year old coach who has won jack shit in the NHL... but hey for an 11 game stretch he went 9-2....
Our PK was great with Arniel last year and he ran a good one in Washington. No idea what happend this past year.
With Lauer it seems like he's been fired a couple times for running a poor one. But until our core wants to actually move their feet on the PP not much will change imo.

This outcome was baked in the day they got Bones to put off retirement and come here for 2 years, Bones leaves and Arniel slides into the HC chair. Speaking of Bones he looked real good last night like a 2 ton boulder had been take off his shoulders.

It's head coach or nothing in the NHL for Nelson apparently. He doesn't want to be an assistant in the NHL and be overshadowed.

Arniel inherent's a pretty good 110 point team all he has to do is get this team to play better in the playoffs, go farther than a first round exit and he will be deemed a success.
