Speculation: Who should the Bruins hire as their next Head Coach? III

[Blitzkrug]

Who is your first choice?

Donskov for sure. 2nd would probably be Jay Woodcroft.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

The people here want Dale Hunter?

Setting aside is very dirty play, eg Pierre Turgeon quite dirty late hit.

I know he has been successful, but I would certainly take him over any of the Bruins internal candidates, Woodcroft, Richardson, etc.

He's been doing a heck of a job with the London Knights and if we are trying to get younger and that he's a perfect option to combine the grit and hard to play against that Neely wants so badly and the modern game,

Just an opinion, but no to Woodcroft.

Bruins could stand to be a bit dirtier, IMO. They've been constantly bullied since like 2017.

All the names and still have no clue whom it might be ???

100% Florida is showing it pays to be the aggressive/dirtier team in the eyes of the officials and your opponent.

 

[KurtDangle]

What is Darryl Sutter up to these days? If they are looking for a veteran coach i would prefer him much more then Tortorella, Laviolette, Lindy Ruff etc.

RBA named Bruins coach next week

Sweeney foresight brilliant

RBA history with Sacco & Kelly bodes well they stay on

RBA underrated hair - love the little white in the front

For all you kids out there ~ knowledge is good

Two weeks ago I couldn’t pick out Mitch Love from Courtney Love or the Love Boat

But a little research later

Mitch Love was a 1/2 season Lowell LocMonster in 2005-6 when I was regularly taking the yutes to games at Tsongis Arena

He’s a brawler (51 fights at 175 lbs in two seasons) and only a rough 3 day weekend in Vegas from put on any watch list flying home

He’s young (41 on June 15th hmmmm)

He’s got a phenomenal record coaching AHL and his players like him

Sacco was his coach so the connection is there with Bruins

Definitely can see the love here

good for the London Knights, keep him.

Any time you have a chance to get a below .500 career coach with a 2-4 record in one playoff appearance out of 5 coaching seasons, you have to jump at that.

I still feel Donskov is their guy

 

[DKH]

I still feel Donskov is their guy

Maybe - very odd such a highly thought of guy not interviewing anywhere or linked like he’s taken

 

[BruinDust]

I'm starting to wonder if the Stars simply told Don Sweeney no. "He's our strong asset you can't have him."

Or maybe they asked for some sort of compensation if Sweeney did hire him and it turned the Bruins off the idea.

I thought that the NHL was more progressive than that. If a guy is offered a job outside an organization, I've never heard of a team
refusing to let him go. If this is so it's surprising unless Dallas is planning on kicking him upstairs to management after this season?

We have seen teams want compensation for their own employees going to other teams usually a promotion.

If Dallas feel really strongly about his contributions to their success and are willing to compensate him as such, maybe they aren't willing to lose him right now.

That's the catch for me. If a team has an assistant coach who has a chance to double or triple their salary going elsewhere as a head coach, they should let him go. But if they are willing to up the compensation, maybe not equal but in the ball-park of what he'd get elsewhere, I don't see anything wrong with trying to keep that person on your staff.

I thought the nhl didn’t allow that. Bruins didn’t get anything for Monty.

Compensation hasn't been allowed since Oilers/Chiarelli

That's unfortunate.

I'm not saying the other poster is right, because I don't think he is... but Monty didn't have a contract so he wasn't Bruins property in any way.

But he was still getting paid by the Bruins after getting fired.

Let’s hope they find something
