Why is it so hard for people to understand the teams he was coaching were great teams?

Ask yourself this: "why are you upset the Leafs hired the most sought after coach in the league?"
- 1979AD

Because he's overrated.

Because he's overrated.

bwah!

why is it so hard for people to understand michael jordan played on great teams?

yes they have to.. the negotiable point is which one

Since McLellan had a year remaining on his contract with the Sharks, and since the Oilers will be bringing him into the fold during the offseason, San Jose is eligible to receive a third round selection in one of the next three entry drafts of Edmonton's choosing. Draft pick compensation for teams who see coaches, GMs or other executives hired away from them hasn't been enforced in the NHL since 2006 but an agreement earlier this year brought it back into implementation.
- Dozzer

Many teams have opted out of receiving the pick. There are other reasons why they may not take the pick. Its been speculated SJ may take it. Boston on the other hand may opt out of taking the pick for Chiarelli. Detroit made it clear before even allowing him to talk they wanted the pick.

Because he's overrated.

if i was a ref i'd ban you.

just for being stupid on purpose. I guess you could call that trolling.

If he spoke French and replaced Therrien you'd be dancing in the streets. DU MAURIERS FOR EVERYONE! WOOOOOOOOO

dude. How old were you when you posted this?

wait till you see the ones that have a Brazilian cut.

Which were made better by his coaching. He chooses the matchups, the lines, the minutes for players, the PP/PK time and tactics. Having a good/great team with horrific coaching is like handing the worlds best power tools to a guy with no (frank)ing arms

Iggy decides what rules the NHL must follow
- PatC80

Again. Its up to the clubs to decide if they want the compensation or not. And there are other reasons that they may decide to opt not to take the pick.

Again showing your lack of hockey smarts.

Ah cool ...so the only truly great coaches are the ones that fail to coach to their teams to a championship.

Because, you know, you can use your statement above on every single winning coach.

Because he's overrated.
- ThePresident

Let's assume this is correct. You don't think an overrated Babcock is a better coach than what they had last year?

You take that back
- MikeBabcock

I don't know whose Alt this is, but Bravo

it isnt.. but its on the sharks or wings to officially ask for it

if they do, the oilers or leafs will have to give them one
- Dozzer

Correct. The clubs can decide if they want it or not.

Hitchcock is a sure fire slam dunk though.

What would a team gain for not taking the compensation picks?

So the Sharks brass might bring up the topic of a free 3rd round pick from the Oilers simply by asking for it and they'll decide "naaaawwwwwwww".
- 1979AD

There are other reasons why they might decide not to take it. For instance getting out of remaining contract without penalty.

Hitchcock is a sure fire slame dunk though.

just uhhh.. upset by Minny.

And coaching another team. But that aside, he won the cup in Dallas with a terrible team that included Hull, Belfour, Hatcher, Modano, etc.

Getting out of other contract stipulations for the guy?
