What are the reasons, besides never being an nhl head coach before, why Granato shouldn’t get a chance?
- Ratsreign

What reason is there to think he's the best choice?

I wonder if he will hint around that tomorrow?
- lulags

He could definitely make things interesting if he really wanted to. I hope he would keep those feelings to him and Adams. Unless it's a flat out I want to stay here.

There isn't, just what ever your opinion is of how the end of the season went. We are all message board GM's here. But some on here seem pretty knowledgeable.

Safe option, sure. Cheap option, definitely. Best option? That's a tough sell.

Just say no to Torts.

wow even Lockport math doesn't show that


we get it, you hate him


you asked for young players that thrived under torts, I listed SEVERAL

hell a third rounder, Bjorkstrand, put up 44 points in 56 games this year, his best
same for Roslovic





maybe if these millennials laid it all on the line, every shift, this wouldn't be an issue

the same can be said for the millennials on the sabres roster AKA suck sisters deux

Could be, we don't know if any coach Is the best option until they are.

We have the softest team in the league

After hiring Adams, it's a really bad look if they don't conduct a search. IMO of course.

Replace Torts with Krueger and PLD with Skinner and tell me it’s not the same thing.


“ If Tortorella is trying to convince us that everything is fine, he’s doing a pretty poor job. Benching Dubois to punish him made the situation more toxic than it needed to be”

They have to at least look around. That said, in a perfect world the only way Granato doesn't get the job is if Gallant said no.

“Sometimes these players, especially today’s athletes, think ‘you’re too hard on me, you’re picking on me,’ and this and that. Maybe it’s too hard for [dubois]. I don’t know.”

Very much so, I would be mad if they didn't.

- Michael Pachla[dubois]. I don’t know.”

That could easily be casey or cozens lets not do that im ver happy how the guys are developing lets not do this

I can't wait for Torts to be named the rangers head coach so he can ruin that talent.

It’s almost like the NHL has changed and Torts has refused to change with it.

If they hire Torts they will be looking for a new coach in 3 years.

I want your next boss just to yell and scream and be an ass all the time. Let me know how quickly you get sick of it.

the concern is warranted, but probably overblown...although the author of that piece has this as her biography:

Native Long Islander who graduated from St. John’s University in 2018. I have been an avid hockey fan since childhood when my dad decided to get NHL Network. I am excited to be covering the Penguins this season!

one of my biggest things is something you mentioned about his stint with the rags--relying on his vets too much...

but i'm still leaning towards torts as an option

Torts have refused to change.

Could say that about any coach they may hire.

Are they still?

if you do your job and work to your talents, what does he have to yell about?

- Slump Buster

My understanding is there trying to keep the coach around for "jack eichel" But that just seems idiotic

God I hope so.

I can’t deal with Casey or Cozens getting benched but yet Eakin sucks out there and Torts rides him because he’s part of the “vets do no wrong club”

if you do your job and work to your talents, what does he have to yell about?
- Michael Pachla

People respond in different ways I am sure there's people out there that do an amazing job without being yelled at
