Who will be our next HC

[GKJ]

I don’t think Tocchet is a bad X’s and O’s guy, but seeing what’s happened in Vancouver, that’s basically what happened here, except it was so untenable that a star player had to be moved.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Only two of those guys are palatable, I'm sure it would be one of the others or something even worse.

 

[Juicy Pop]

I can see Shaw getting a full season if he wants it.

I don't see much of a reason to care if it's full on tank mode.

Is Tocchet considered a players coach? He’s struck me as someone who’d be a prick

i voted Lappy and his face...but i think a cardboard cutout would be as effective

 

[Magua]

I think it would be f***ing hilarious to keep the longtime AGM/VP of the GM/President who was fired, while then replacing the recently fired head coach with his longtime assistant coach. Just amazing New Era of Orange optics top to bottom, leaving no stone turned.

People might laugh and say who but you could be onto something .

I said I would come back once that piece of shit was gone . He,s gone and "I'm back" .

Can't move star players if there are no star players.

 

[Danko]

I'd also like to see who people actually want to be the coach...so that way when they get who they want or didn't want we can refer back to and taunt.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I wouldn’t be against Shaw next year as a placeholder or as a trial period

 

[BillDineen]

I don't think Carle would sign here at all unless they hand him an insane record contract. They will almost certainly fail in their summer "big game" hunting quest, so it will be another year plus of pain for a coach to go through. They will want a coach that preaches accountability and structure, viewing that as key to development over offense. Whomever they hire won't last long regardless.

I think they would hire Tocchet first and backup might be Lappy with Shaw back as assistant and a new PP coach. I really think they will be as bad or worst next year.

Carle would have to be blown away to accept an nhl head coaching job when he is the god of his college program, makes a crap ton of money and has a young growing family. He can be there for the next 5 years minimum, probably longer if he wants.

Nhl Coaches are gone in 2-3 years.

its always the laziest outcome...every dam time

 

[ponder719]

Someone worse than the above is functionally impossible, as you have Q on the list.

Voted Tocchet, but I do think there's the outside shot that it's Woodcroft.

That said, desperately trying to manifest either David Carle (unrealistic) or Jeff Halpern (maybe even possible?)

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

It doesn't matter at all until Comcast sells the team.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

I would put an entire paycheck on Tocchet being the next HC. It’s exactly what this franchise does every damn time.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

What's Ronald McDonald up to these days?

 

[scumpup]

I'm going to put in an application.

 

[BillDineen]

Doug Maclean says Tocchet or Quenneville

 

[VladDrag]

I think Shaw is going to get an NHL coaching gig somewhere soon.

The reports of him are he’s a players coach and is some kind of defenseman whisperer. I have liked his decisions when he’s been behind the bench.

Honestly I don’t think it matters too much - i just don’t want another asshole coach.

Gross.

I’d sooner just stay with Shaw and Rocky next season to ensure the tank.
