If Not Cappy Poll

[Marlo Stanfield]

Boucher was my pick. Wouldn't mind Bylsma.

Best case - Stevens (the assistant from LA). Would be a good hire for the long haul IMO.

Also, please no Ron Wilson.

Agreed.

PS: Babcock is a pipe dream to those of you who think we have any remote chance at bringing him in.

My top choice right now would be Brent Sutter. But realistically I see Weight getting the position if Cappy is actually fired. The best solution has got to be outside the organization as none of these guys on the bench have enough experience or are capable enough.

Sadly, I don't think Boucher would be an option until this summer. He is under contract with SC Bern and though he has an out clause, it doesn't kick in until after this season ends.

Bylsmsa while he is a welcome upgrade from Cappy, I feel like he should have been able to do more with 2 of the top 5 players in the league on the same team.

Voted Sutter

Entertainment value pick would be Torts without a doubt but I would hate to have to root for that d***

I voted Torts. I'm unsure about how good he would be with such a young team. Him coaching Ho-Sang might spell disaster. But he is a very intelligent coach. Seeing that the players are commited enough to the team to listen to a dunce like Cappy, I don't think they would question Tortorella's authority. His general "**** off"-attitude would fit in well with Snow's too.

E: woah Torts even played at the University of Maine

I went with Blysma but I would prefer Nolan or Lavi back.

Me too, but unfortunately both are all ready head coaches atm.

No.

No.

And no.

Torts to a young team like this would be a disaster.

If you really want a coach who could get the Isles young players onto the entry level of some success - Terry Murray. Just look what he did with the Kings before they gave the reigns to an even more established coach (Sutter)

Andy Murray, not Terry Murray
