Another non-Trotz HC hire… intriguing coaching carousel this year.

Trotz must be focusing on Winnipeg. All the better openings are being filled. Not much left besides Winnipeg

Another non-Trotz HC hire… intriguing coaching carousel this year.

I wonder if Florida hired Maurcie to prove a point. It is very interesting that they hired a Blackhawks connected coach not long after Quenneville, er, resigned. (Yes, I think Bettman forced that.) I dunno, I'd find it to be pretty difficult to root for that organization.

I think it's either WPG or NSH for Trotz, whether as a coach or in another role.

Edit: I confused maurice for cheveldayoff. I'm a bozo.

It has been since Paul Coffey. Guys like Rod Langway will never win the Norris again.

Langway was always a bit of an aberration, though. The prototypical Norris (Lidstrom, Orr, Potvin, Robinson, Chelios) winner contributes everywhere. I agree that Karlsson + Burns don't fit that model. My only misgiving with Makar winning Norris is that he might have been a better Hart winner. McAvoy maybe fits the traditional model better, but Makar is no Karlsson. More like Niedermayer with a touch of Coffey.

Another non-Trotz HC hire… intriguing coaching carousel this year.

Rumor is Trotz turned down $7M a year from Philadelphia, so he must know exactly what he wants and will sit if he doesn't get it.

You mean a guy like Adam Pelech?

PHI is paying that as mask for their own GM-created problems. Fletcher is just crap and part of the old boys network that PHI owners like. Trotz probably sees that a mile away. PHI ain’t competing any time soon.

Laffs fans are sensitive or what? Point out that Matthews Hart whether he deserved it or not. I would have gone McDavid and or Shesterkin since they were more valuable to their teams. Anyway, point out that this is going to cost them when Matthews is ready to up his already extremely player friendly contract that Dumbass got bent over by Matthews agent, and they start writing essays to reply to me. Somethings are so predictable as the Laffs golfing each spring. What a fragile bunch they have over there.

About time for him.

I’ve heard good things about that guy.

If Sliencio was really available, Lou would've hired him.

Maybe Silencio isn't as hot of a commodity as we think he is.

I'm not comfortable speculating, but it sounds like something is happening in his personal life and he's shifted his priority.

It does make me wonder about the assistants who won't be back though. Curious where they're going.

If you listen to Paul Maurice interview the other day on XM, he gets into some detail on how the bubble and the entire COVID thing had an impact on him from a professional standpoint, but also into his personal life.
