It was option B. Pierre GroulxLooks like we got another coach today. Announement in 5..
My guess is goalie coach. Probably Braithwaite
I was wrong its Pierre Groulx
So we're now pretty much one bench coach away from having a full staff, right?
Yep.
Groulx apparently is the guy who worked with Anderson when he was in Florida. Seems like he was instrumental in turning Andy's career around. He went to Montreal after and is credited with developing Halak.

Montreal let him go and Price explodes the next year. The flip side is the tremendous success of Anderson and Halak.
I'm looking forward to seeing how he progresses our young goalies.

Price exploded because he stopped smoking cigarettes and eating Mcdonalds when he almost lost his job to Halak.
His issue was his commitment to conditioning.
What's wrong with cigarettes and double big mac?

Haha, is this a joke or is this true?
I wish Crawford was working with the forwards and we had hired Brad Shaw to work with the D. Maybe we can hire Stumpy Thomas to work with the forwards.
Isn't Boucher going to be handling the forwards?
Brad Shaw would be a dream hire for that last bench spot, but there's no way he'd come in here with 2/3 guys ahead of him on the pecking order.
Usually there are 3 coaches behind the bench, one assistant works with the defence and the other assistant with the forwards, but it's unclear as to whether we are going to hire another assistant. Cookson is going to be up top as the eye in the sky, so there is room for one more guy, but they may decide to just have Boucher and Crawfird in the bench.
Unless I'm misremembering I'm pretty sure Boucher was quoted as saying they'd have 3 on the bench + 1 eye in the sky, so I would expect one more announcement at some point this summer.
I also seem to remember Boucher saying he'd be very involved with the forwards. Not that that means they won't bring in another guy to deal with the forwards as well, just that it would be Boucher's main focus.
The Senators also announced today that Tim Pattyson has been assigned to another position within the team’s hockey operations department which will see him oversee analytical and statistical research and development in addition to the evaluation of potential trades or free agent signings.
We have a full time analytics person?Sounds like we hired a video coach today: Kristopher Young.
According to the same article, we also moved someone into "analytical and statistical research & development".
