If an associate coach doesn't have any say on who plays than what do they have say over? I mean other than say over the leagues 21st ranked pk.

So why does anyone ever worry or complain around here by what is said by anyone? Apparently no one can ever believed to be telling the truth. No matter who says what just call them a lying SOB and insert your own version of the truth as fact.
I don't think i called anyone a lying SOB. All i am saying is that you have to take these interviews with a grain of salt. Again, show me any interview where a player says something bad about newly hired coach that he has to play for.

A pint of dark matter, please.
Its white, I think. Fluffy too. Weird lookin' eyes for a lab. But, rocks the attitude.Does he have a black Labrador️
Again i never said that the assistant coach wouldn't have input i said that the final say on who plays and doesn't play would be by the head coach. Arniel could have been pumping Perfetti's tires but Bowness saw it differently. When Arniel took over for Bowness Perfetti played every game so i think Perfetti will be playing under Arniel now that he's the head coach.
He also played more under Arniel and I more situations. So yes I believe Cole when he says he feels Arniel trusts him.
Arniel says he has a plan for each player and I'm curious what that is for Cole next year.
Me personally i think Perfetti is in our top 6 for sure , i doubt we are signing Tofolli and if we don't sign Monahan i wouldn't be surprised to see Perfetti as our second line center.

I've gotten used to Helle claiming he was playing great when the results say otherwise. He is a goalie. And he needs to pump himself up to maintain confidence.
Actually i liked how the Jets played under Arniel when Bowness was away, 9-2 is a pretty good record , I'm going with that not i think Arniel sucks so he sucks.
I'm ignoring that entirely. He just kept the seat warm while Bones was away. I'm also ignoring 'Arniel sucks' because he flopped with a very bad team 12 years ago.
His suitability as HC remains to be seen. He will sink or swim on his own merits beginning next season. I hope he has a D corps to work with.

Not sure that is the harder part. Getting coaches to buy in is more likely the roadblock. At least some coaches.
You absolutely can ignore the record under Arniel if you want , that's totally your call. I just think some people wouldn't ignore the record if he went 0-11 .

That I agree with.
But that would have been a change from the results Bones was getting and so might have actually been meaningful.
But a short stretch as a fill in, where nothing was changed and where the record was similar to the before and after periods really doesn't mean squat. You are free to value it if you like.

Brent Wallace reporting Nolan Baumgartner and Mike Yeo are assistants in Ottawa.
McLellen would be an unreal assistant to grab if he can't find work anywhere else as a HC
San Jose is the only remaining vacancy, but it would be kind of weird if he went back...
He's still got 2 years left at $5 million per. No team is going to take that on for him to be an assistant.
There is usually a negotiation and in most cases the new team takes the full amount. My guess is he sits until a he gets a head coaching gig.

Come on Arniel, make your assistant coach picks already so we can criticize the moves!
I'm going off what Friedman was saying about the rules on that during the 32 thoughts from a couple weeks ago, unless it's different for assistant coaches vs head coaches

Is say the team didn't help him much but a successful playoff tendy gives the team confidence and helps them through tough stretches. We haven't gotten that from Hellebuyck the past 2 seasons
