It's a pipe dream to think Arniel WON'T be next HC of the Jets. The writing is on the wall. I don't like it but I knew it day he signed as associate coach.
Ottawa has an appetite to for change as they need to supplement their roster with some veterans to push to make the playoffs.
Many won’t agree with me and it most certainly won’t happen, but I’d do what I need to in order to pry Brady Tkachuk away from them. Connor ++???
Jets need more muscle with skill in their forward group. Until then they will continue to get pushed around.
Again, won’t happen, but hiring Berube as the Head coach would be smart.
Tkachuk would be awesome. Not going to happen.I agree Brady Tkachuk would be a great addition here but I'd think the price would be very prohibitive even if Ottawa was entertaining trading him, which I doubt. They'll build around him, not move him. Their goal is to get back to the playoffs.
Losingest NHL coach in history, interim rookie, and a walking anachronism long past his expiry date? I'd settle for an NHL coach in there, or at worst, a fresh young face with success at lower levels who might just believe in analytics and methods from the younger side of the Carter administration.How many coaches does this team get before it's the players not the coaches?
Maurice, Lowry, Bones, all same results
maurice was fine but here far too long and florida is f***ing stacked...
dallas fans have shared the same thoughts on bones as jets fans, probably even more harsh from what I read
lowry, I don't even know why he even gets mentioned here as a head coach, my guess is to prop up the numbers to make it seem worse then it actually is
Cmon SipWould Dave Hakstol be a fit in Winnipeg as new HC?
Maurice has most losses partly because of how long he’s coached. He could just as accurately he called the fourth most winningest coach in NHL history.Losingest NHL coach in history, interim rookie, and a walking anachronism long past his expiry date?

I’d say Kim Campbell as PM of Canada is a more accurate comparison/analogy. She was PM for five months about as long as Lowry was head coach. Both inherited a mess and did nothing to fix it. I still think she was a legit prime minister.Calling Lowry one of our head coaches is like calling Karl Dönitz one of Germany's Führers.
Agree it won’t happen — I’m sure Tkachuk is untouchable as far as Ottawa is concerned — but I’d absolutely trade pretty much whatever they want for him. I think someone like that is who the Jets need. Way too much softness among our skilled players.Ottawa has an appetite to for change as they need to supplement their roster with some veterans to push to make the playoffs.

I dont know if the players do not hate to lose enough. The problem seems like they panic when things are not going right.I think all of Heinola, Salmo, Chibby and Lambert fit that GAF mould to some extent -- and McGroarty for sure does. Wonder if the Jets might have just made him an offer as a starter and taken it from there. They def need a few more who hate, hate, hate to lose.
After a quick tour through the Isles board, it seems Pulock is a player that could be had fairly cheap. Long term deal. I know we once drooled over him, but have those days passed? Perhaps they would take some soon to expire contracts to free cap space.
Pionk and a cheap sweetener.
Apples, Barron, Kupari, Gusty? I think Ehlers or Connor is too much straight up judging by their comments, but HF posters and Lou Lamerillo are completely different minds.

I guess the counter-argument is these are all rubbish coaches and Maurice's success in Florida and Bones' in Dallas were just luck?
Will it only be admitted it's the players if we burn through a coach who's considered "good"? Which I guess won't happen since only a very few seem to be held in that regard.
Clean house top to bottom. New GM, coaches and make some moves on some guys this offseason. Shake things up. We won't but we should.
Will be interesting what they do this offseason. Can’t imagine getting knocked out the same way two years in a row sits well.
I get a bad suspician that the brass sees 3 home playoffs games as a pretty big success.
Also, a deep playoff run would probably help sell season tickets next year.Financially sure, to an extent. But having more playoff games would be an even bigger success.
Should have last offseason after that debacle. And probably the year before that, too.Clean house top to bottom. New GM, coaches and make some moves on some guys this offseason. Shake things up. We won't but we should.
You do know how tough that will be with absolutely no fa wanting to come here, don’t you?Should have last offseason after that debacle. And probably the year before that, too.
This organization stinks.
And it is going to smell of Hellebucyk (regular season wonder, playoff wondering what the hell happened) and Scheifele for the next 7 years and $115 million.
Absolute unmitigated disaster.
