Remember a week ago when we were discussing whether McLellan or Evason would be an acceptable fit if we missed out on Berube?
I remember.
Is that a 4 YEAR CONTRACT?!?! WTF!Travis Green has been named the next head coach in franchise history, a title he will hold through the end of the 2027-28 NHL season.
“After speaking to several highly qualified candidates, it became clear that Travis is the right fit to lead our group,” said Staios. “As we’ve routinely stated, developing a winning culture is paramount to our aspiration of achieving sustained success. Travis has a burning desire to win, is passionate about teaching and holds his players to a very high standard. We’re excited to welcome he and his family to the Ottawa-Gatineau community.”
"...a title he will hold through the end of the 2027-28 NHL season."4 year deal
f*** f*** f*** f***
I like how they couldn't even gussy it up. Just had to include those losing records for the Nucks and Devils in there.Did someone forget to tell Staios that the loss column is the second, not the first, stat you see when looking at W-L-T records?
4 year deal
f*** f*** f*** f***
You missed the best part, the title. "Got our guy"What is with the writing in this press release?
"Green has experience leading a young core like the Senators’ including his 2020 playoff run boasting a 10-7 record with one of the youngest rosters in the league en route to the Western Conference Semi-Finals where they took the Vegas Golden Knights to the breaking point in game seven before their run came to an end."
Followed by:
"Most recently Green served as the interim head coach of the New Jersey Devils where he amassed an 8-20-1 record over the final 21 games of this season after they had relinquished Lindy Ruff of his head coaching duties."

If he sucks they will fire him like every other NHL org fires their coaches, sometimes before their deal even kicks in. Does it really matter?With a record like his, Green is a coach you give a 1-2 year show me deal. Extend him afterwards if he earns it.
But 4 years right off the hop?
Why? I just don't get it. It makes zero sense to me.

Andlauer promised best in class, gave us Staios who gave us Travis Green.
As a Sens fan, I hope it works out. But I can definitively say that Travis Green is FAR from the best in class coach available now (there isn't a shortage of quality coaches in free agency). The track record doesn't jive with what Staios is being quoted.
Just feels like we have hired a DJ Smith type coach wrt track record/pedigree if not style, but would be very happy to be proven wrong.
