Are folks opposed to Berube? Helped develop great young players like Kyrou, Thomas and Dunn.

I wouldn't be opposed to Berube at all personally. In fact, I'd like to see a SC winning coach here. But, Arniel already has the job.

Q is never going to coach again, regardless of what any poll might say.
And that it is not "cancel culture". It is consequences.
I'm skeptical on just how good a coach Berube is. Is he really good or did he just catch lightning in a bottle after taking over halfway through the year he won a cup.
His metrics in four full and a half seasons since that win aren't very good. The Blues have finished no better then 22 nd in XGF%. The PK outside of 21-22 has been bottom third of the league. The one good thing is he has three straight years of a top 4 PP.
I think he'd bring an upper echelon pp to the table here, but our PK would still be poor, and I'm not confident he'd be as good 5 on 4 as Bones was.

My hot take is that the Blues, as constructed, were not a very good team to begin with. I'm not sure I can take much out of his stint with the Blues.
Very possible. I admit I haven't followed them in enough detail to really have a good enough handle on the strength of their team.
TNSE would get crucified in the media if they hired Quenneville. I don't see them inviting that kind of negativity, especially with soft attendance as it is.
I mean, they circled the wagons for Chevy who was in the room at the time and said nothing. But I think he was just taking minutes...
Most players love playing for Torts. He's fair and expects the same from everyone. Fragile egomaniacs like PLD don't like playing for Torts. Ric Nash didn't like being told he had to play defense but respected him in the end. Brad Richards loved him. Torts will have a discussion with any player about hockey.
He would be the perfect fit for the Leafs if Shannahan wasn't so scared of offending his overpaid stars.

Chevy, the invisible man who nobody knew was even there. Didn't he come forward and everyone else there was like "are you sure? I don't remember that".I mean, they circled the wagons for Chevy who was in the room at the time and said nothing. But I think he was just taking minutes...
That's the problem. Torts gets one year of playing trap hockey out of guys before everyone gives up. Every single one of his teams but one has mailed it in after 1 season with him.
Maybe they respect him, they sure as hell don't always play like they do.
We might get one good season out of him before all our good players start heading for the hills though. Maybe he makes it worth it. Doubtful but maybe.
PLD actually recommended Torts to Jets brass. I don't think he had any issues playing for him. I think his issues where around Torts blasting him in the press for wanting out as a means of galvanizing the rest of the team.
I think if he left the media circus behind him I think he'd have more fans.

Not true
No one even asked you if you wanted him. I didn't even suggest him for the Jets. The facts prove the 2x Jack Adams winner and Stanley Cup Champion isn't a one and done. I even gave you a link.
This a forum we discuss things. No one asked you anything either yet here you are blurting out your opinion just like the rest of us.
The facts don't prove that at all. The Lightning is the only team that didn't quit on him after 1 season, they Won a cup, then they quit on him. Everywhere else he's gone since he's become tired after one season. Only reason he's still around is because people find his outbursts entertaining.
Jet's will never hire that hack anyways so it's a moot point.
I would add that you need to surround 55 with the right type of wingers. 81 isn't a good roll model for 55.
I don't know why this is so upsetting for you. I stated the facts and gave you a link. My opinion was he would be good for the Leafs. If you would like to discuss my actual opinion you can start any time.

If the Jets have a "Do Not Hire for Coach" List...
I guarantee these names are on it:
Joel Quenneville
Bill Peters
Mike Babcock

With Brad in the org and nearing NHL readiness I doubt they bring in his uncle to coach.
