Peters from Calgary had a very impressive season

Julien managed to get career-best performances by most players last season, so him.

Tocchet dragged the Coyotes to within a few points of the playoffs despite having almost 400 man games lost.

Surprised Babcock hasn't gone yet

Surprised Babcock hasn't gone yet

Popular thing to hate on him right now. These polls are almost always the PDO awards anyways (and coaching awards for that matter). Whoever overacheives the most gets the most votes.

For example of the former, Quenneville ranked 6th behind Babcock at 5 last year, and this year Quenn is ranked at #2 for getting fired and Babcock is ranked likely 10 or later for getting his team into the playoffs.

Why? There is no reason, it's just hype. Quenne is guilty of the same dinosaur thinking of guys like Babcock.

Boudreau/Julien seem like the obvious answers to me here, but I would have picked them both over Laviolette/Brindamour as well.
