Hire the Finn coach then

Yup, because every coach that wins at the World championships, should be an nhl coach.

Well. The Finns were a trash team that beat a bunch of NHL all stars....basically what Green deals with on a nightly basis. Could be the correct formula for a Prez Trophy 🏆

How does that work ? Determined by service time ? Or you can’t offersheet out if ELC ?

Wasn’t there a big scare of an auston Mathews offer sheet ?
- Redmile247

Yeah, because he burned the first year of his ELC, but played fewer than 11 games, his total games played at the end of his ELC doesn’t qualify him for arbitration rights or the ability to sign an offer sheet. Was the same with Johnny Hockey, and Q Hughes as well. Because Matthews, Liane, McDavid etc all went straight to the NHL after they were drafted they have more right.

He can be offer sheeted, like Marner or any other player coming off of ELC.
- Reubenkincade

No he can’t.

One assistant coach who is not available: Rick Wilson. The Flyers brought him out of retirement last December to see if he could help their defenders, with noticeable improvement in several cases. Alain Vigneault brought in Michel Therrien and Mike Yeo, retaining Ian Laperriere, so there wasn’t room. But there are no hard feelings. “A new coach wants to bring people he’s quite comfortable with,” Wilson said last week. “As he should. This is a hard enough job, you want to have everything going your way.” If anyone calls? “I’m not taking it right now,” he laughs.

26. Wilson’s spent most of the last 30 years mentoring defencemen, starting with the Derian Hatcher, Richard Matvichuk, Darryl Sydor, Sergei Zubov-led group that won Dallas its Stanley Cup in 1999, to success story Jared Spurgeon in Minnesota, to current Stanley Cup competitors Joel Edmundson and Colton Parayko in St. Louis. He refuses to pick favourites, but laughed a little thinking about some of the mental battles with Hatcher and Zubov.

“You want to teach them how hard it is to win, and there’s nothing better than seeing it happen. But, I would also say that some of my favourites wouldn’t be the obvious ones. There are players who weren’t expected to be long-time NHLers who stayed for a while on the second or third pair. Helping them make it is special.” His best advice for any coach in a new situation: “Be strong in your message, but be patient with looking for immediate return on the message. Be consistent. Be willing to work on the relationship. That doesn’t mean you have to be soft.” Polite, but firm? “Yes. Strong enough to hold on to your message and expectations. Patient enough to see it grow. Outlast them.”



Vancouver needs Rick Wilson to replace Baumgartner

No he can’t.

Somebody slap some sense into you this weekend?

Bye bye Baumer 👋

all This talk of offer sheets ...,what about Brock Boeser ?
- Redmile247

Can't be given one

Maybe Buffalo is willing to trade picks?

I believe he is a top 5 talent, so would love to get him a 10.
I would think habs may offer a nice package to move up, if he is available at 10, as I think Flyers would take him at 11.

Lavoie reminds me of Stephane Richer so much

Totally!!

Seems to me like burning the first year is a way better idea to me then

Well if Richer could have he would have been special, instead he just teased with glimpses of it.

He left in a fit of self pity.

Denial on Gaunce was the final nail.

Maybe Minny will OS Boeser like Philly did with that jack-ass Kesler?

Hey,
