Bob’s probably gonna say first day, “dude we’re a little tight lipped here, don’t make me throw a barstool”
His contract is up after 2022, so if they liked Bouchard enough after next year, they can just promote him without firing anyone or anyone resigning.

Just have the decency to fire Eakins. What a horrible look. He has zero credibility with the players now. Super bad management.
If Bob said that I don't think Bouchard was meant to broadcast it to the world...
I hope the guy misspoke.

That's on Bouchard, not management
It is on Bouchard, and it's a pretty bad way to start one's tenure with the new organization.

Probably, but it’s also not something that should be said in the first place unless you’re willing to throw the year away. That kind of thing always gets out.
I'm sure stuff like that is said all of the time. I don't really mind it since it is the reality that we can all plainly see anyway, but it's disrespectful to be so open about it.
Yes, From the athletic. I believe this quote was actually originally posted in French in an article published Saturday but the same article was reposted in English today and that’s why we’re seeing it float around. Doesn’t appear that he made the comment in the pressers today.

I just read that article and came here to post this same thing. That's a really bad look

If the guy came with the promise/expectation/understanding that he will replace Eakins after this season, just do it now. Why play stupid little games?

I have sympathy for eakins. His teams have only ever been rebuilders in the process of accumulating young talent and he’s never had a roster on the upswing. It really feels like his back is up against the ledge as far as his nhl coaching career is concerned.
I hope the boys rally hard this year and we get a huge Eakins redemption ark. That would involve some unlikely breakouts and a lot of luck but that’s hockey right?

It’s about money like it always is with the Samuelis.
You just can’t say that to the media if you’re Bouchard. That type of shit gets said in interviews all the time I’m sure. It’s the timing of things. You’re trying to convince the guy to come here so you tell him he’s got a chance to be the next coach. Fine.
But you just can’t go public with that to the media. Honestly, the lack of professionalism shown there is astonishing for a guy who’s been around for any amount of time in any industry.
I’m not sure I even want him to be the next coach. But I might be going too far here

True, and I expect there will be the usual “we feel comfortable with Dallas Eakins as our head coach moving forward” statement. Followed up by his contract not being renewed next Spring.
Shitty shitty situation now
