Are there any good coaches available? I heard people talking about promoting the coach of Rochester because of how well they are doing, but the last time they did that we got Ron Rolston...

I'm very pleased with the firing of Boughner. Hated him. Should've just kept Gallant/JAM/Smith.

Only 17 points separate the best and worst placed teams in the central. Every other division has a spread of at least 32, with the Atlantic have a 64 point spread. The Lightning doubled the Senators with 128 points.

Remember when the Sabres traded Ryan O'Reilly for a couple of picks and a bunch of crap and then immediately started looking for a second line center?

If Florida do end up getting the Panarin/Bob deal, I’m not even sure what we do with Panarin. Breaking up the Huberdeau/Barlow line just isn’t going to happen, and Hoffman has been fantastic on the second line and has proven to have been a phenomenal trade. Our problems really don’t have anything to do with our top 6 forwards at the least, and our young kids in the 3/4 line and existing prospects show hope too.

Whatever the gently caress was wrong with Matheson’s game this season has to be fixable, it wasn’t like that the previous season. Add a solid shutdown D guy and a keeper in good health and a ton of those 1 goal loss games are gonna be gone. The unofficial team motto of ‘Itll be better next year’ comes true once again.

Yeah in a year of bad defense last season, he looked like a solid pick to extend a contract on. But, 8 years is a bit of a mindfuck, and I’m hoping this year was the anomaly and better coaching won’t lead to things like ‘well Matheson only missed 5 games this season and we won all those games, but I’m sure that’s just a coincidence so let’s not consider scratching him’.

Pettersson used his nordic magic to curse him and Kotkaniemi after hurting him. They had precipitous declines in play after doing so. It's the only explanation.

Ken Holland should be fired. Not just for how bad of a team he's constructed, but for not directing that team to knock off that late season 7-game win streak that hosed their lottery position.

Fire Ken Holland.

Desjardins isn't coming back to LA.

By my count, since the beginning of the season there's been 10 coaches fired or released, nearly a full third of the league (yes I know I'm counting LA twice here).

Yeo, Quennville, Hakstol, Carlyle, Stevens, McLellan, Boughner, Housley, Boucher, Desjardins


Does that seem high to anyone else? That seems like a lot to me.

Matt Zerella posted:

I think AV wants to go to a contender, or at least could be a contender in the next couple of seasons. McDavid, Draisaitl and Sekera aside, the Oilers are a complete mess so I'm not sure that's a situation Vigneault would want.

Bread and his agent had a lengthy conversation immediately following the game in New York where Columbus clinched. I'd like to hope the excitement of the moment might have swung him a little toward staying in Columbus, but am aware I probably know better.

The year before there were 0 fired in season so this year seems like a natural correction

Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.

― Corey Dostoyevsky
goaltending, hall dying, having to call up 3/4 of their (substandard) AHL team for 1/4 of the season. fortunately the one positive is that blackwood (after being in the ECHL last year) looked quite good in split starts with schneider, nine-goal performance against calgary aside.

their season exposed the lack of organizational depth and they need to hit a home run this offseason to convince tay to stick around. a high pick and draft flexibility is a decent start
