Who should be our next coach?

[Brooklyndevil]

Leaf fans are clamoring for Boucher. I hear he's good with young players, intense , but I'm not exactly in love with the system he used in Tampa, however, I would consider him. Others?

He will be high on Lou list. I believe he is good friends with Lemaire.

Before Sutter was hired I wanted Kevin Dineen he was killing it in Portland with Anaheim's affiliate at the time....Still think he would be a very good option. Team Canada seems to have a lot of faith in him

Jaromir Jagr.

I would be very interested to see a George Gwozdecky coached team in the NHL. He's turned that DU program around. I think he'd be a solid choice.

John MacLean

Anybody but dumbeor and Stevens.

 

[ajdevjet]

brodeur

 

[ThePSEGPowerPoster]

I don't care if Lou hires a collection of HFBoard posters that make decisions via poll.

Anything is better than Peter DeBoer.

soooooo Johnny Mac?

What about Red Gendron, now head coach of the "Black Bears" of the University of Maine at Orono. He was a Lemaire assistant and has a long relationship with the Devils and also coached the kids at Albany. He's good with young players, experienced, steady, knows the game.

I wonder if he'd give up a good college job though for this?

Just a thought.

our D has taken a step back with him there and its clear he also doesn't really like the young guys IMO

We need a more experienced head coach than that. Have you forgotten about MacLean?

 

[Better Call Sal]

I like Dineen, think he'd be a good option.

We don't know enough either way if Stevens has brought good or bad, you could say offensively we've improved on defense, but once again, how would we know how responsible he actually is for that - and look at the situation he's been given with a head coach who doesn't work well with young players and has a log jam at the position he is responsible for coaching

There are a select few assistants in the entire league that actually have make significant differences, Robinson was one of them

How has the D taken a step back?

I thought you were talking about Stevens as an assistant

IMO Stevens is one of the ones pushing for guys like Salvador and Volchenkov to play over the young guys

tell me how Scott Stevens is a good coach. I'm all ears.

Any mention of how he was as a player completely disqualifies your response.

Sorry, the truth hurts. There isn't much to be positive about with this team nowadays, sorry to be the bearer of (true) bad news.

Pretty easily considering that lesser, older players play over guys who are clearly

I know some of that is Pete but I have a feeling Stevens doesnt help things in that regard.

I dont see the glass half empty dude, sorry I dont live that way.....we went to the cup in 2012 and we are 5 points out of the play offs with 10 games left, no matter which way you slice it THESE ARE THE FACTS ! Im done with you now, go back to screaming "the sky is falling"

But the way the young players have been handled has followed Pete regardless of who his defensive coach has been whether it be in FLA, Robinson or Stevens - as I said, we don't know either way for sure, but when patterns develop...

The Salvador thing seems to be part about the letter on his chest, Volchenkov has been fine this year and it's been ashame we've seen him scratched when healthy
