A proven coach of this calibre falls into our lap and mgmt not even bothering to explore the possibility.

It’s batsh*t crazy.

Winnipeg is interviewing him. He’s from Winnipeg and I think his family still lives there. The Jets are a team in turmoil and need to right the ship.

That would be interesting. The Jets forwards couldn't be more disinterested in playing 200 foot hockey.
 
Tells me the jets aren’t interested in any rebuild. Hellebucyk not going anywhere.

Keefe is a future legend. Clog up the middle of the ice in the biggest.gsmes and he has o answers. PP goes to shyte too. But a future legend
 
Barry Trotz' self-imposed staycation should make a lot of coaches anxious, including Sheldon Keefe.

Come January, things might look a lot different if Trotz is still on the sidelines and the Leafs aren't meeting expectations. A nice Christmas vacation for the Trotz family followed by the delivery of a Brinks truck full of cash might be very tempting.

No. I like Trotz, and think he’s a great coach, but I also think we have a great coach in the making, and he needs time to grow. This year was better than the last. He’s growing in his role like players do.

This reads like a development league discussion…isn’t that part of the problem. Who hires a coach that needs to grow? Just wasting away years while Dubas, Keefe, everyone figures it out. Crazy.

Trotz would definitely be an upgrade but I don’t think this team built for him as a coach. His teams hit, play heavy and always defence first. It’s generally the style that wins and Dubas maybe has to adapt a little more yet. The 2 teams in this year‘s finals are faster offensive teams I suppose though but its not the norm. Tampa can play shut down but I haven’t seen the Avs ability to play it. I enjoy watching open ice, high scoring games but I’d rather see a cup.

Naaa, I think the breakthrough is pretty close. He was a great coach in the AHL, and he continues to get better at the NHL level. We’re a bogus 5-on-3 in game 6 from going on a run, against a team that won back-to-back cups, and is in game 6 for another. It’s not like we pulled this guy outta the York-Simcoe Express program. He’s a damn good coach.

The Avs are about to win a cup built in much the same mould we are..

Best core in decades and we are wasting it with a coach who is learning on the fly.

That might be okay, but in this case we also have the GM and President learning on the fly.

Out of the 3, Keefe is the weakest of the bunch and the one most easily replaced.

I don’t think Keefe is a bad coach that deserves to be fired. Also I’m very glad the Avs are where they are and showing that fun hockey can win. Maybe it will change the way teams play hockey somewhat, idk. Trotz is a great coach though and would definitely make me look at all my options if I was Dubas.

They'll get it right eventually but until then they care deeply

I think Trotz has come out and said he would not be coaching next year as his heart is not in it right now
