Regardless of how you feel about the league reinstating them, do you believe either of Bowman or Quenneville will be hired before the start of next season

I can see Q getting an assistant coaching job

I can see Q getting an assistant coaching job

Really? I don't agree at all.

He comes with a lot of baggage. Also - he's obviously a really good/accomplished coach

If you're going to bother dealing with all the backlash/drama that comes with hiring him, it's not to make him an assistant. Either head coach, or not worth the trouble imo

Being an assistant lets you evaluate his abilities while being able to keep him away from media, it’s a good transition job

 

[Fire Sweeney]

I think Q is hired after the first in season firing

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Q get's a job for sure, he's a great coach and I'm sure the PR tour will be in full effect

Not sure why anybody would bring in Bowman, he's most responsible for the coverup and hasn't even been a good GM in over a decade

 

[Frank Drebin]

Hope q gets a job guy did nothing wrong

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

I don't see it. Babcock was run out of CBJ and he has half the reputation these two now have.

I agree and also don't see any of them back on the bench though.

The path for a GM is much easier I think.

IMO he'd be a good hire for a team whose coach is on the hot seat.

Said only Bowman but more I think about it, Quenneville will get a "consulting job" from a team who does not trust their coach so he can takeover mid season.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Still annoys me a lot about losing Quenneville. Even after the cup win.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Bowman before the season, Q as an in-season replacement would be my guess.

Hope whomever hire either of them get pilloried for it.
