Linden didn't have any President experience.
Benning didn't have any GM experience.

I like the job they are doing I do agree that Linden should have had a vet working with him. Green will have Jarvis

I don't have a lot of faith in Jays managment at the moment. Their goal in the offseason was to get younger and faster and address the bullpen. The bullpen got worse, and they got older and slower. Wtf did they do? And what kind of sack of sh!t would keep throwing Smoak onto the field? For (frank)SAKES

Yeah without them we wouldn't have the 5 new (three year old) Hot Dogs, it's the only reason Lefty goes to the games now.

Hefty is important. Don't forget that Tubby is a season ticket holder

I have my heart set on a couple of coaches... I don't think we get any of them, so the consolation is Green.
- thundachunk

It's going to be similar to this year, regardless of who coaches. I know that there are some here that think they're the cats ass in coaching evaluation, strategies, "player development". But I still stand by my opinion that as long as this team employs AHL talent, doesn't matter who coaches.

I hope Edmonton looses, I hope Toronto loses, all other Canadian teams win their series.

Speaking of AHL. Utica lost 7-2 tonight. JV with "third man in" game misconduct.

That's probably how it goes. If Green was the first choice they would have announced it. Same goes with available coaches. It might be a while until they bring someone in. Might be until end of playoffs. Probably, who they want, is not one of the fired guys and isn't available right now.

@SMBDragon

From the last blog.

The reason that i keep asking You which coach you think would get this roster into the playoffs is because you keep answering yes, several, without actually giving out a name or two.

So I'll ask again, which available coach do you think could make this team a contender and why?

- Pres.cup

primarily hitchcock for obvious reasons, but hes going to dallas now

Id have to say gallant has potential for that. He did well in florida and was known to have good systems.

Of course sutter, very smart with in game tweaks....his systems are sound and win cups....and we see 2 cups as proof. I worry about his relationship with the players though

also from LA but not yet fired is john stevens. Technically we could get both sutter AND stevens

Please stop stroking it to people hitting the unemployment line, it's uncouth and unbecoming of a man of your stature.

Im not sure it counts as unemployed if youre still collecting a paycheck for another year

Totally agree Hefty. I am excited to see what Green can bring to this team. I don't want any old and stubborn coaches. We need a coach that can grow with the prospects over the next 3-4 years. Jarvis can provide experience and guidance.

you may be right. Lets hope thats the right decision

Let's see about next season with players and coaching. It's way too early to know where they will be. The easy call is to say the worst. Improving is hard sledding.

As for Oilers there will be a lot of that saying and a lot less doing over these years. The reality of Mcjesus with all the 1OA and a decades of top draft picks is the splash that will keep many wet. Add a competent HC plus coaching staff as well as Maroon, Lucic and Kassian and presto playoff team.

It might not be the 80's but it sure feels like ehm eh...
