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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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”

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