Speculation: The coaching search continues

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Apparently, Chantelle Tkachuk is being considered as an associate coach based on her experience handling player disputes, but I'm unsure of it is a fake Twitter account because I never heard of her coaching before.

Does anybody know if Friedman spells his name as Fraudman in the Twitter handle? Or is that a fake one?

 

[Relapsing]

Wait, Andlauer bought that (was it $6M?) monstrosity that looks like the headquarters of a fledgling crypto trading firm on the outskirts of Orlando?

That gives me no confidence in his taste.

So we've been told. The same house that's had 3 owners in 6 years.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Sounds like two headed monster Celebrini and Mckenna to me

Gruden actually has a lot of promise and did good work with Boston last year. I would have taken him as head coach over Green easily. Hoping he gets a job here.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Completely understandable given the horrid coaching and dumpster-diving this organization has been doing for the last decade. We’re just too used to it to react any differently.

Yeah. We’re looking at recent coaching results of the dude we hired. And saying. This doesn’t look good.

It’s an extreeemnmeeellyy normal reaction of sports fans. Happens often.

In a year if we are brutal there will be some revisionism. Always is.

[frightenedinmatenum2]

People want to fantasy book coaches not wanting millions of dollars to play here because the reality that the team chose Travis Greene is too difficult for them to accept.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

f*** just tell us who are being considered as assistants at least. Maybe give us reasons to not be so doom and gloom.

That’s perfectly fine, being disappointed is a perfectly fine reaction to have.

I’m talking about things like nobody wants to work for Staios, nobody wants to work for Andlauer, Andlauer won’t spend money, Andlauer hiring Staios is a huge mistake because nobody wants to work for Staios, nobody wanted to come because Andlauer was making sure he picked the Assistanrs, etc.

That’s just jumping to the worst conclusions possible because a coach you don’t like was hired.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

If nobody wants to work for Staios because they don't believe in him, that's a pretty indictment on Andlauer for hiring him as a rookie President of Hockey Ops.

The Ottawa Senators have been a complete joke for about 7 years.

Raging alcoholic kicking the can and yesman getting fired for lying to make a trade happen doesn't change anything. It will take a long time and a lot of work to be a credible franchise once again.

Well if we think the hire sucks then having the opinion that Staios is doing a bad job is a perfectly fine opinion to have. He is the one who hired Green after all.

 

[Sens Vader]

Well f*** this franchise. Pathetic start for Sleepy Steve

Nah - too busy respecting the sanctity of the draft lottery.

 

[stempniaksen]

Best in class must be code for something else. This fan base was sold a bill of goods.

 

[slamigo]

What a kick in the nuts. This team makes it very hard to be a fan. FFS

 

[Gil Gunderson]

So apparently the Devils roster was healthier and goaltending was better towards the end of the Devils season and they still played worse under Green. Real interesting stuff there. Devils and Canucks fans are absolutely torching him.

 

[BondraTime]

That’s perfectly fine, that’s got nothing to do with anything I was talking about.

I think it’s a bit reactive, but thats just an opinion as well.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Was it a lacklustre hiring when you consider what was available 1,000% but we gotta give em a chance! I think many will be more open once they hear Green and Staios speak on WED.

Now if Staios decides to keep Korpisalo as our starter he deserves to be bashed to the fullest degree!

best in class.....of people who would take the job lol

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Well, I'm already demoralized for the start of next season.

That’s going to be a kick in the nads for sure, that contract is going to be nearly impossible to make disappear.

 

[LevelingSolo]

You know I remember not liking the Hartsburg, Clouston, or Cameron hires

But this is next level bad

Best in class- the class where the kids get pieces of carpet instead of chairs.

The DJ hiring was bad at the time to despite the nice press conference. He was literally in charge of Toronto’s defence from 2017-2019 lol.

 

[flyingfingers]

Well they could buy him out for a reasonable cap hit ($333k next year with a top penalty of $2.3M in 27/28 when the cap projects to ~96-98M).

But Andlauer does not intend to pay players to not play for the team.

So you can expect both Korpisalo and Hamonic (barring a mysterious offseason surgery that prompts LTIR) at training camp ready to be motivated by Travis Green.

Honeymoon is over for this ownership group.

We were sold a 'best in class' bill of goods. Over, and over, that's been the catchphrase of this group.

Best

In

Class

Objectively, Staios was not the best in class hire for the GM position.

Objectively, Greene is not the best in class hire for the coaching position.

Objectively, this team is no where close to best in class in our division, our conference, or the league.

What else are people supposed to start believing from this ownership and management group?

Now if Staios decides to keep Korpisalo as our starter he deserves to be bashed to the fullest degree!

And if that happens, we'll be told by some people that actually, there wasn't anything Staios could do about Korpisalo in the first place, and they'll just identify the next goal post by which he should reaaaally be judged on, and on and on it goes until there's no scapegoats left.
