SageMost people hate the hire, but as always there are the contrarians who are doing their best to convince themselves this might be good, actually.

To be this confident about a coach that you really dont know much about is next level stuff. Because someone trusts someone, that knows way more about hockey than you do, is now a contrarian?... An entire hockey ops that interviewed 10 candidates. You feel you are in a better position to choose a candidate eh. Over 2000 NHL games played between them... Then we can listen to multiple sources that played for them and actually trust their opinion. to the point where were willing to give the person a chance. Again people that know way more hockey than you do. Are not falling in line in what you think is correct makes people contrarians. haha ok!Most people hate the hire, but as always there are the contrarians who are doing their best to convince themselves this might be good, actually.
And nobody is even in here praising the hire. A handful of people are suggesting that we maybe pump the brakes on the histrionics and assume until proven otherwise that Staios and Andlauer are reasonably intelligent decision makers.To be this confident about a coach that you really dont know much about is next level stuff.

Source ?He’s going to be closer to 2/2.5 million a year
DJ Smith was making 1.5 this past yearSource ?
Or speculation?
Ottawa Media should have some balls & ask how much his salary is ...
Okay ...DJ Smith was making 1.5 this past year
I would have rather stuck with Martin. Green does not inspire me in any way, shape or form.
Okay ...
But where'd you get the $2 million - $ 2.5 million figures from , do you have a source or is that pure speculation??
** If it's speculation ... it's a good reason for Ottawa Media to actually find out and ask the question of how much he makes. & let the fans decide for themselves if the Organization is shopping in the bargain bin section again
Well, it probably came down to their list of finalists because those are the guys who they felt were the best fitsHow did the choice even come down to Green or Berube? There were a number of guys out there with good coaching resumes to choose from. Just because Berube’s price is reportedly astronomical doesn’t mean the choice was binary this whole time.
Also, why did they have so many conversations with the guy before talking about salary expectations. Have an initial conversation with him and then ask his agent…”hey, we’d love to continue talking to Craig and think he’d be a great fit for the next step we’re taking. Can you ballpark his ask on dollars and term?” How do you have multiple conversations with a guy, in-depth interviews and don’t know what he wants for salary or term???
You gonna cancel your 5 game pack in the nose bleeds if you deem the number isn't appropriate? What's your breaking point? 2.5 million? 3? Eh what's gonna make you pull your 300 dollar investment in the team? Was 950,000,000 not enough or too much when you make your decision to switch from Heineken to Labatt Blue beer this season so you could go to the games?Okay ...

10 out of 10 troll job. Some of your best work! I love how much you comment on this board with how little you actually follow the team. Shows a real commitment to the craft. Keep it up! I'm sure you have managed to gas light quite a few people.That was NEVER going to happen, and we all knew that when Martin was brought it, with a predetermined shelf life of only the final 57 games of the season, back in December last year.
Everyone said Martin was never going to be considered a candidate forthe next head coach, our rookie GM said that, and Martin said that…… he was a substitute teacher, and everyone knew that.
I may have brought up this point before, but they should done whatever it took to bring in someone, either as the new head coach, or an interim coach that would have been in the mix for the next head coach, depending on how the final 57 games (and playoffs?) transpired.
But our rookie gm decided to write off the final 57 games, and sent the players back to an extended training camp, so they would be ready for the next unknown head coach, come training camp later this year.
This is “Best in Class”?
You'll have to tell us when he found the formula previously. The WHL? He had better perform. It's as simple as that. If we miss the playoffs next season, I'll be cheering for Vancouver the season after.
I have to say this choice doesn't seem the most inspired.
I’m really curios who will be the assistants, these are as critical as the head coach. I want a former D as one of the choices. Jay McKee would be great.
It's not contrarian to at least wait and see how the team does.Most people hate the hire, but as always there are the contrarians who are doing their best to convince themselves this might be good, actually.
Funny how the Leafs drive the conversation in other markets. Seeger talking about Travis Green being a “development coach” and not a “closer coach” because Toronto is looking for a “closer coach” because Keefe so they translate that to Travis Green and other markets.
stupid conversation. Never heard these expressions before. Toronto just makes up its own scenarios and puts it league wide
