Andlauer is running a business and maybe Berube wasn't worth the $$ he was asking. Green is a pro and his reputation will be measured immediately by this hire and most importantly, the success he can bring to the team's performance.
Gotta give him a shot!
To me, player acquisition and potential trades to make the Sens more competitive is more significant and this lies on the GM and his hockey operations guys.
The team did NOT have to give Green a shot at being the head coach.
There were other previously EXPERIENCED and SUCCESSFUL NHL coaches available for hire.
I find this hire is not consistent with the "best in class" mantra.
Neither was hiring Staios as the POHO and GM.
As fans we are stuck with this management team.
I had hoped for a lot more from the new owner than we are getting now.
We have to live with these hirings for the next few years, similar to the Melnyk-Dorion years.
As a fan I hope it works out and the team makes the playoffs next season and wins the first round.
Right now I do not have faith that this will happen.
