In before “Rick Nash/Mike Priest forced Evason to keep him!”
I felt like Boll was fine. To me McCarthy is the one most at risk here but that's just meIn before “Rick Nash/Mike Priest forced Evason to keep him!”
First ding for Evason. Disappointing. Nobody can tell you what the guy does, except that “he’s great for the community.”

Who have you talked to that is apart of the org? Posters don't count when you say "nobody can tell you"First ding for Evason. Disappointing. Nobody can tell you what the guy does, except that “he’s great for the community.”
If it were me, I’d bring in a new bench assistant as part of supporting and establishing the “new voice”. this team needs. Keeping both current bench assistants doesn’t generate the impact needed. Keep in mind this has been a failing team.He can keep everyone if he wants to.
This is an evaluation year anyways.
Based on what exactly ? Your practices under Larsen and PV ? Seems like a Darby Hendrickson type mold that Evason liked in Minnesota .. the fact you can’t name what he’s not doing well is more telling in my opinion . We don’t go to practices , but McCarthy has been head of the D core for what 3 years ? And the results were bad ..First ding for Evason. Disappointing. Nobody can tell you what the guy does, except that “he’s great for the community.”
Hope things go well for him going forward.
I really can’t believe they retained McCarthy was hoping they would clear most of them out to get the bad mojo out.
• Mike Haviland, an associate coach with the Blue Jackets’ American Hockey League affiliate in Cleveland the past two seasons, has been promoted to join the Blue Jackets’ staff under new coach Dean Evason.
• Assistant coach Steve McCarthy, who has been with the organization for eight seasons, including the past three years as a Blue Jackets assistant, will be retained, as will fellow assistant Jared Boll.
• Evason, along with Blue Jackets president and GM Don Waddell, are expected to name another assistant coach in the coming days.
It’s unclear how the roles will be delegated among the assistants on Evason’s first staff in Columbus. McCarthy has coached the defense and penalty kill for the past three seasons in Columbus, but that’s Haviland’s forte, too.
Haviland has previous NHL coaching experience. He was an assistant with Chicago from 2008-12, when the Blackhawks grew into one of the NHL powerhouse teams. He’s also coached in the AHL, ECHL and college ranks, spending seven seasons at Colorado College.
This one is interesting as he runs defense and PK in Cleveland
Yeah. Indefinitely suspend everyone who was in the organization at the time. Especially those who didn't know anything about it.With Chicago from 2008-2012, you say? Trying to remember if something monumental for that franchise happened during that period that cost powerful people their jobs and ruined a teenager’s life, but it’s not quite coming to me.
