Time to rank the current coaches of all the nhl teams. Lots of changes since last year, including 31st ranked Housley GONE from last year. Some new faces too, should be an interesting vote. HFBOards only allows 30 options still so i left off Maurice he will be on the next one, hopefully you didnt wanna vote for him. Heres a look at the last couple a years weve done here. Heres LAST years:

Cassidy has been incredible since taking over mid 2016/17. Think he's legitimately in the conversation for #1.

Yeah thats who i voted for too. Every coach has their flaws and the longer theyve coached the more thell reveal them but he has been a great coach so far

Since taking over a team mid-year that had missed the playoffs 2 years straight, the Bruins have the 2nd best record in the league at 117-52-22, the 3rd best PP, 1st place PK, and are a top 3 possession team along with Carolina and San Jose. Also 4-3 for playoff series.

Trying as hard as I can to be objective, I can't think of any other coach who got more out of what he had to work with than Brind'Amour.

Others I considered
  • Trotz: very close. Similar regular season records; Isles had 4 more points but the Canes had more ROWs. Their playoff series decides it for me.
  • Berube: obviously better overall results but I'd argue a lot more talent overall
  • Cooper: talent, and the playoff disintegration removes him from consideration imo
  • Cassidy: talent. Maybe if he'd won it all . . .

Berube taking a team from last place a couple weeks into his tenure to posing with the Stanley Cup puts him as the top HC for 2019-20 in my eyes.

Crazy how much Babcock's standing has fallen over the past few years. He's still a good coach, but he used to be unanimously considered the best in the business.
