What decent coaches are left for hire?

[tony d]

I expect Vigneault to get a job with a team this year. I think the Jets could hire him if they lose to the Blues in the playoffs.

AV
MacKellen
Keefe
Rickard Gronberg
Todd Nelson
Bob Boughner
Krueger
Adam Oates
Patrick Roy
Dave Tippet
Michel Therrien
Bob Hartley

Those are just odd the top of my head

What

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Dan Bylsma

 

[BLONG7]

Babcock and Cooper in a week.

Coop just got an extension.............Babs will get one more season, before the noose gets too tight...

 

[Just Linda]

What

It's been what like 7 years since he last coaches in the NHL, he's been getting good reviews as an assistant. His name has been being thrown around a bit by teams to consider interviewing.

AV

He said decent

 

[Machinehead]

Would love to see him coach a team without a hall of fame goalie saving his ass

In the words of George Carlin: "forget cable, this shit needs to be on pay-per-view."

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

He said decent

AV has been to the finals twice he's a good coach

 

[Machinehead]

AV has been to the finals twice he's a good coach

He got his soul ripped from his body in the Finals twice.

 

[Newsworthy]

Doug Weight and Alain Vigneault are available.

Doug Weight

Scott Gomez.,

 

[OVrocks]

Dallas Eakin

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Pascal Vincent or a guy with experience

Or a longshoot: Dale Hawerchuk

Hawerchuk is way beyond a long-shot. He hasn't shown any interest in becoming an NHL coach and has not done the apprenticeship to become an NHL head coach.

Bruce might get fired this summer.

Great coach but our new GM is an idiot.

 

[Voight]

He isnt bad, he got a lot out of a NYR team without any elite skaters and a pretty poor defensive group. Sure he has some weaknesses but he is far from a bad coach compared to the average NHL coach. His biggest weakness is developing young players and he doesnt trust his young players at all so he give veterans more ice time than they deserve.

Thats why AV is perfect for an up and coming team / playoff contender. He may not be great with young players but he'll get your team where it needs to be, made the finals his first year with NYR as an example.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Add Flyers to the list.

Who needs a coach?

Edmonton
Buffalo
I believe Ottawa has an interim right now
Winnipeg may after a quick exit
Tampa if they lose to Columbus

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Love Todd Nelson's coaching style.

Would be so curious to see if it works with a suitable NHL team (got decent milage with a horrible Edmonton squad).

Sunday Q and A: Todd Nelson and his "jam it down their...

MacKellen

Rickard Gronberg
Todd Nelson
Bob Boughner

Adam Oates
Patrick Roy
Dave Tippet

[BHD]

Keefe and Nelson are the only appealing names out there.

Therrien is an douche of a coach does not gel with the newer players. Hard pass.

 

[Pens x]

Mike Sullivan

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Mike Babcock isn't getting fired if the Leafs lose to the Bruins. Bruins are a very good team.
Now, I do expect one of Sullivan/Cooper or Maurice (is he still the Jets coach?) to get the axe if their teams lose in round one.

 

[CookiesAndMilk]

The question was: What decent coaches are left for hire?

Two pages in and everyone and their mother just throw names from ex-coaches around. At least I saw some AV's.
