[wonton15]

They go from Creed from The Office to Gunther from Friends

Ouch, Hynes sucks. Hope the wild don't have any good young players.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Hynes?????? Lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Why? Just because he was doing a bad job?

He spoke ill of Cale Makar, and was dealt with accordingly

 

[Turin]

Oh Billy.

John Hynes officially joins the NHL old boys club of recycled head coaches, joining the rich history and tradition led by Peter Laviolette, Ken Hitchcock, Todd McLellan, and Bruce Boudreau.

Fletcher is out of the league now. Without guerins buyouts we would be already in cap recapture trouble with Zach Parise out of the league currently.

Parise probably is still playing if he has a contract or at the very least LTIR. Doubt he would've retired on the Wild

Nah evasons got plenty of time, coaches last a while these da—

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Wow Hynes really…

This getting good

See it's posts like this that are comical. McLellan and Laviolette have their teams at the top of the league

Definitely his fault and not the GM who put $15M of dead cap on the books

How did that $15M go down exactly? I thought those were penalties for long and illegal contracts signed by the previous GM and Guerin was left holding the bag. Or was there a way for Guerin to have avoided the penalties?

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Hynes will help with the tank. Welcome aboard amigo

 

[Empoleon8771]

John Hynes is a cockroach that somehow won't die as a NHL coach.

 

[Mosby]

New coach is William Charles Schneider

Ha, he was already being benched in MN before the buyout, things would not have been friendly from then until now.

Sure. Keep paying them.

Buyouts. And they could have just kept them

The NHL might be the only league where actual children and AIs would do a better job of managing teams than the people in charge.

 

[avalanche_country]

Billy should fire himself

At least all of those guys had some seasons with a .600 points percentage and got out of the first round of the playoffs.

How does John Hynes keep getting work?

Have you uh, been with this league long?

The NHL is an incompetent league from top to bottom.

 

[Reality Check]

One of the worst teams in the league with no cap space.

Scapegoat fire. But it had happen with their current state.

Don't forget Paul Maurice, the king of mid.

It's all about who you know... and he was WBS headcoach while BG was an AGM of the Pens.
