Ace amateur scout Ron Delorme doesn't get enough credit for that gem.Gustav Forsling
Former Moose coach Scott Arniel gets the job in Winnipeg. Don't really have a strong opinion of him as a coach one way or another but given that he would've played a part in the development of guys like Raymond, Edler, Hansen, Schneider and Grabner etc. best of luck to him.
Arniel at the time was an up and coming coach. In his 40s, over 700 NHL games as a player, spent time as a player in the minors, 3 years as assistant coach to Lindy Ruff (successful in his last year), and had a winning record including playoff success in his 4 years as an AHL head coach. He was also known as a player’s coach IIRC (I.e. effective communicator). He didn’t have a lot of prospects to work with but there were no glaring screwups.i never watched the moose but i do remember there was a time when him going to columbus was regarded as a real loss, and there was a not insignificant contingent saying we should have fired AV (after a second straight playoff meltdown against chicago) and promote arniel
Well there was an earlier shock of him being able to shoot the puck and play in the NHL this season.Tanner Pearson headed to UFA for the first time. Always thought he wasn't all that great, but his production is kind of shocking considering he was on the same team and line that basically resurrected Monahan's career.
Edler spent very little time in Manitoba near as I can recall. Schneider I give *all* the credit to our always solid goaltending coach(s).Former Moose coach Scott Arniel gets the job in Winnipeg.
