Montreal did a great job siding with their lame duck coach who they ended up firing anyway over their top player.
Any veteran coach and I'd take vigneailt. Canucks and rangers we're awesome and young players thrived but here is slow so I doubt his fast aggressive hockey would work but trades are happening first so who knows.Serious question: What's the list of realistic potential replacements look like at this point?
The obvious names are Gordon, Knoblauch, Keefe, Lappy, Sutter, Bylsma, Todd Nelson, Vigneault, Kirk Muller, Tippett?
Going back to college isn't a move I think he can make and if he was going to hire a CHL coach, you would imagine it would just be Knoblauch instead. I think Hextall would rather chew glass than hire Adam Oates.
Hextall should be fired before the trades can go through.
This is just you being incredibly spiteful. I guess you're beginning to realize your flawless coach isn't so flawless after all?
perfect post again. Keep up the good work LOl.Either you want change, or you just want a new face to sail into the iceberg.
If you really want change, you want to break up the aging core that has shown in the playoffs last year and this season that it can't get the job done.
Hextalls sees this, he was hoping to get to the next generation without having to ditch fan favorites, but at some point you have to bite the bullet.
This team needs to get faster and tougher, and that's only going to happen through trading your best players for players who are better fits with the team you want to build.
Simply throwing in a bunch of prospects who aren't NHL ready for Lehtera and Weise guarantees we miss the playoffs - so if that's the case, why are we holding on to aging veterans and watching their value decline?
I love that big jets team win or lose. Thats supposed to be here and the team is f***in ruined with slow,soft shit. We gotta get back be the hardest working team that is big,fast,skilled and two way strong. Changes are coming soon but lets hope its the right ones.I think they lay a complete egg Thursday and we lose by 4 goals at least.
Take the money line and the puck line, bet heavy guys, it will be easiest money you have ever made.
HAHAHAHAHAImagine how much better our lives would be now if Hexy had called North Dakota and said ...

All 5 of those players are way better then what we have now. They just needed a boost. This group is so f***ed you cant even pblame a coach yet and thats why hexy said hes looking around. More solid two way players.Using this awful logic, Richards and Carter, or Briere/Gagne/Timonen should've been traded as Stevens was fired. It makes zero sense.
The coach is the biggest universal problem right now. You fire him, then you wait and see how the rest shakes out.

It's when you're relaxed that we should all begin to worry.I'm relaxed, Mango, don't worry.
I'll take Vigneault. Having Hak as coach is mentally exhausting.

I am with you. Find a coach with fire in his belly and tell the players "balls to wall". Find out real quick who adapts and who sinks to the bottom. If you do not risk everything, you wind up with nothing. And that is what the current coach is about: risk intolerant and cannot stomach, how shall I say it delicately, diversity of thought. A tyrant's tyrant, I suppose.
If he hires him, I'm conducting the Fire Hextall train because he just doesn't get it.

I didn't want Torts three years ago, but he managed to reinvent himself enough to be not terrible.
I don't know if Tippett would be any better for rookies than Vigneault. I recall a lot of Coyotes fans on here hating him for how he used their young guys.
Carter and Richards were traded, best move Holmgren ever made other than signing Briere, Kimmo and Hartnell in one offseason (can't do that today, just signing JT has Toronto in cap hell). Problem was Holmgren didn't go full bore with the rebuild.
