So Fedorov is fired in the KHL, is there any chance he'll get job in the NHL?

[Kshahdoo]

He won 2 Cups in Russia as CSKA's head coach. And he's an NHL legend.

Buffalo should be all in.

Fired in KHL doesn’t usually lead to be hired in the NHL

 

[Jacob]

If the guy can't hack it in the KHL why would an NHL team hire him?

 

[Despote]

If the guy can't hack it in the KHL why would an NHL team hire him?

Even the best coaches get fired tbh.

 

[DFC]

Imagine if Detroit....

 

[WarriorofTime]

If the guy can't hack it in the KHL

He won back to back Gagarin Cups the two prior seasons... How is exactly is he someone that "can't hack it"?

People really do fail to understand context, don't they? Even when the OP blatantly states that he's won twice in the KHL.

Okay so explain the context. Why did he get fired?

Because it's KHL (Kolkhoz Hockey League), they can fire a coach who won 2 cups in 3 seasons...

Would love to see them break the old boys' club and bring Fedorov and Jokinen in as coaches.

Imagine all the new meme potential with Jokinen

 

[eojsmada]

Why don't you ask him or the club? But to say he's a hack when he's won 2 of the last KHL titles is just silly.

 

[Montreal Shadow]

Coaches in the NHL get fired all the damn time.

 

[HisIceness]

He seems like a Detroit or bust hire to me

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Imagine all the new meme potential with Jokinen

He looks like a pirate.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Guy with all of his international experience and a long NHL career...I'd have to think he'd be a really interesting option but I know nothing of him as an actual coach.

Coaches in the NHL get fired all the damn time.

yeah, Coaches and Gms are hired to be fired, basically

I feel old.

 

[stevo61]

Id send Vincent to Russia if Federov comes back

 

[Rare Jewel]

He looks like a pirate.

Leaf Legend.

 

[LOFIN]

Yes, though I still doubt he would get outright hired as a head coach. But as an associate, with the promise of getting the nod in the future.

Coaches are not hired into the NHL because of merit, but because of connections. Otherwise guys like Rikard Grönborg or Jukka Jalonen would've been given a chance already. A former NHLer has an easier time getting into a position to succeed, but still not hired straight to the NHL job I would have to imagine.

Wings have dibs.

Okay so explain the context. Why did he get fired?

Why did Bruce Cassidy get fired? Coaches are hired to be fired, that's the way it works. They reach their shelf life then on to the next guy

 

[SEALBound]

Any word on what kind of coach he is?

We talking Torts or MSL?

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]
