2023 Coaching Search

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Maybe a new coach hasn't been hired because no one wants the job? Last call 10's work both ways.

I am confident this is not the case.

End up coaching by HFBOARDS polls!
What could go wrong?!

At this point there’s only two reasons that make sense for there not to have been an announcement. It’s either the Rangers decision involving a common candidate is a holdup or it’s Roy wanting to await the Memorial Cup conclusion. I’m leaning toward the latter based on the sequence of events though Jarmo strikes me as a guy who might like Lav and Hines’ availability may have given Jarmo a second chance at him.

I can't wait to see a picture of one of the Gaudreau/Laine duo winning the Selke Trophy.

Laviolette made about 4.9 mil last year. They said they'd pay but thats alot of moolah on coach.

I don't know why on earth we'd wait for another team. We either have our guy or we don't. The only reason to wait is if the guy they want has multiple offers and is trying to decide which one to take.

I think we are waiting for Roy. If he has multiple opportunities to decide between, we need to make sure the CBJ are the one he wants. Let's not lose sight of the fact that when a coach interviews with a team, he is interviewing us as well.

I fully expect this to be the case, with Laviolette and Roy holding the cards or at least delaying the process in the case of Roy if multiple teams want to talk to him now/after the weekend. I think the teams will go in this order (possibly similar to how the coaches view the opportunities, I'd like to think we'd be quite high in the pecking order for many given our young roster and future potential):

1. New York Rangers
2. Columbus Blue Jackets
3. Calgary Flames
4. Anaheim Ducks

With possibly some wild cards thrown in if teams want to make sudden changes (like Ottawa if they want to fire DJ Smith).

I think NYR goes first and we go a close second - we probably have our ranking done and are just waiting for the prospective coaches to make their decisions...

Edit: Yeah Anaheim might be pretty favorable in the end, they're in a similar situation as us really...

Calgary - cold Canada + pressure.
Rangers - Big apple and prétendent on SC, but pressure.
Anaheim - excellent weather without pressure.
Columbus - good weather but pressure? Jarmo needs PO.

All will depend on what the coaches goals are.

How do they not have a coach yet, why is it taking so long.

I don't think Hynes would be the best choice.

People wanted they wouldn’t take the 1st name, they’ve basically interviewed everyone they could have.

Funny to think about but I have absolute confidence this isn't the case

You know it's too quiet today. I have a feeling something is brewing

Well hopefully that someone didn't cost us Brunette and causes us to end up with Mueller or Greene..

 

[Jackets Bob]

That something I will assume is the New York Rangers and the Memorial Cup Finals. IT'll be either Roy or Lav, who ever the NYR didn't chose.

 

[614 CBJ]

Interested in an assistant coach for Florida or Vegas?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

It’s Babcock. Go to the new thread.

Confirmed with Link: - CBJ hire Mike Babcock as head coach (UPDATE: Under NHLPA Investigation)

This is also my guess (which it was before too, but Porty’s Tweet seems to also jibe with that guess).
