Trotzy had to look up his name on paper, could of been a Jeremy...Jeremy...Jeremy it doesn't matter Because he's not going to work here any more.I guess Lauzon just got a shout out as a Leader?
One of 3 or 4 to show up.... shows good initiative off the iceI guess Lauzon just got a shout out as a Leader?
I don't think we gain anything by letting Hynes run it out. Trotz as coach/GM would make sense to close out this season, since it gives the team an experienced, quality coach, but also gives him a very close sense of what we've got on the big roster and who he'll want to build around. I can't imagine they envision it as a long-term idea.I'd be fine with Trotz as a coach but I think coach/GM combo would be a terrible choice.
My guess is that Hynes is coaching for his job. If he can manage to get us in the playoffs maybe he earns himself another year, but I also think Trotz will want to pick his own guy.

I think Nichol definitely stays if he wants to. Hes definitely Trotz guy. Not sure if Kealty leaves for somewhere that he might see a path to the top job soonerYeah that was really heartwarming to see.
I thought no comment on Hynes was interesting. And it was obvious in some of the comments from Poile there was a convo about Trotz coaching. Not sure if that was a slip or not, but that's not a small thing.
Another observation: the AGMs Brian, Kealty and Nichol being leaned on is interesting. Brian being our capoligist is also interesting. May explain a lot of the up and down. Movement of players this year.
May be reading too much into it, but I think Hynes is gone. I don't think, however, there is going to be major changes to the AGMs
My guess is that Hynes is as good as gone. New GM's want their own picks in place. They want every important hire to be theirs including the coach. I think Hynes is gone as soon as the last game is played and a coaching search conducted by Trotz gets underway.I think trotz is going to give hynes his idea of what the future looks like and lean on him to use the young pieces given to him. How he performs will determine if hes retained.
The fact that they talked about everybody in the organization right down to the stick boy... yet not the coaching staff... speaks sufficient volumes to me about the likely fate of those guys.My guess is that Hynes is as good as gone.

He's been in since January not sure he orchestrated all the deals or not but he had to have some say in the matter if Poile has been showing him the ropes and all.I asked a question based on the current reporting. If Trotz is or isn't fully involved in these moves is not public information. It's tweet deep commentary from unofficial sources. What is out there is that Trotz has been working with Poile on the transition for weeks ... that he will be "immediately" involved ... hence the question.
For someone that talked about the importance of the relationship between the coach and the GM, him not having Hynes on the stand and Hynes not sticking around for questions was pretty telling.I think trotz is going to give hynes his idea of what the future looks like and lean on him to use the young pieces given to him.

Was it though? Why would Hynes be there for that? The players weren't either.For someone that talked about the importance of the relationship between the coach and the GM, him not having Hynes on the stand and Hynes not sticking around for questions was pretty telling.
When did the team even get back from Arizona?Was it though? Why would Hynes be there for that? The players weren't either.
