Scotty Bowman.

A retread, yay. Some talk around Marco Sturm too.

Would Woody really be a retread? He's only had 1 gig at the NHL level. I don't think he was a bad coach.

If Sully leaves id be interested to see the Penguins hot board from fans

He was an assistant coach under McLellan for the Sharks for 7 years. So, yes, in a way.

Why would Sully leave?

Because god finally heard our prayers?

Has an extension kick in next season, not sure he moves yet.

 

[Burkeocet]

He probably won’t but he absolutely has to unless they want to throw away another season.

To me the last sentence is clearly Rod the Bod. Rumors are that the owner simply won't pay up. And it's not good enough to cough up the extra for him, he also wants his assistants paid right. Writing is on the wall there. Will be a lineup for his services

If you coach for more then one season in the NHL your automatically a retread by HF logic

 

[Gurglesons]

Wouldn't be surprised if the big name is Q.

That's what I was thinking, especially when you look at whose contracts are expiring this year.

Not even homering, here, but if Brind’amour were available, the Leafs are throwing the kitchen sink at he and his staff.

Handsome Lane Lambert??

If Sully leaves watch for Keefe, Kyle Dubas LOVES him some Sheldon Keefe in his life, and if Keefe loses to Boston you got to think he's getting fired.

His assistants were fired last year he's got to be next

 

[CBJx614]

Not even homering, here, but if Brind’amour were available, the Leafs are throwing the kitchen sink at he and his staff.

Most franchises would, I would imagine. It's just how many would actually pay him and his assistants what they are demanding ( which I would imagine the Leafs would have an upper hand against most teams there)

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Owners would be stupid not to put the money into hiring the best coach. It's peanuts compared to the overall player salaries. An elite coach can make a big difference in a league with so much parity. I would pay Rod whatever it takes. He's an excellent coach and a tier above all the mediocre coaches on the carousel.

 

[Chainshot]

From the way people have been talking, I would assume the last comment is about Berube.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

Today's update

 

[Voight]

Today's update

I would assume that's Brind'Amour or Jon Cooper.

 

[1specter]

Interesting. Could be Rod but I think it's quite possibly Cooper - he's accomplished everything he needs to with Tampa, he's been there forever and TB will probably need to go through a retool or rebuild for a few years before getting back into true contention. Also only has a year left on his deal.
