I already said that I'd have to re-evaluate the amount of time I spend following this team. Maybe Larsen comes in and tears it up, but I don't have any confidence in that.
Torts had earned the right to go out on his own terms.You would have thought if the CBJ thought highly of Larsen that they would have made the switch at some point last season?

This is exactly right. If I’m coming in as HC, it’s me - not the GM or front office - picking my assistant coaches. Only someone worried they may never get a HC job - or one about fired and wanting to save his job - might agree to allow otherwise.There is no way I would accept my assistants picked for me even if I was a first time head coach. Your replacement is already there. The players know this so why would they play hard for the guy knowing he will be replaced sooner rather than later. Plus, then you have to worry if the assistant is undermining what you are doing so he can replace you faster.
It also doesn't reflect well on the organization. It shows you aren't quite sure what you want to do.
Pick a guy, and let him get to work.

I’m guessing we get the coach this week. If they’re done with second interviews you would think it’s nearing a decision. And it looks like Larsen or Tocchet
Larsen is far and away the least sexy candidate but he has the advantage of seeing precisely what didn't work last season which could bode well
We aren't going to win a bidding war with the Rangers.
If Larsen is such a good choice, why hasn't another team ever reached out for a chance to interview him now or in the past?
Would be an odd choice when Jarmo always talked like he didn't want to hold anyone back from career choices in the case of Bill Zito.We might not know if they did. CBJ are the ones that decide who he can talk to.
I hope we hire Larsen. I just want to see the reactions.
