Around the League 2 - Tank command central

500 wins for Mo.

Good for him, but he's easily the worst of the 500+ win coaches. He's lucky that he became a head coach so young.

All that's true, but he's also been stuck with coaching pretty crappy teams, almost like he's a glutton for punishment. Would be interested to see how he'd do with a talented team. And no, I'm not a Mo fan, nor do I think he's a good coach, just an observation.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Will Mo finish his career with the most losses ever. That's real question. He's only about 100 behind Scotty Bowman so what's that 5 more years? He should coast to that record.

On another note, Joel Quenville is 3rd in NHL history in wins Nd he's probably going to pass Al Arbour next season for 2nd.

 

[What the Faulk]

Right now he's 500-483-99-81. Bowman has the most wins and losses with 1,244 and 584. Maurice is 47 (three years younger that Bill Peters). If he coaches 20 more years averaging 38 wins a season (averaging around 35 right now for first ~14), he'll finish as the "winningest" coach of all time, and blow away the loss record.

Proof that just because you've done something for a long time, it doesn't mean you're good at it.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

He's coached three of the worst franchises in the league. Not sure we'll ever know how good a coach he is. I do know that his colleagues respect the hell out of him, so I will probably use that as my main indicator.

Dubnyk to the Wild for a 3rd round pick.

I wonder what they offered if anything for our goalies? Another potential trade partner gone as well as the Yotes solidifying their tank status.

they certainly acquired a goaltender.

9-5-2 .916 with the Coyotes this year, not too bad considering. Better than Backstrom!

And he's on a one year deal, making 800k. Literally a no-lose, IMO.

 

[What the Faulk]

Huh, I suggested signing him this past off-season (which everyone hated EDIT: everyone but CI) but never thought his value would rebound that much.

I assume you were also suggesting one other move so we didn't have 3 goalies?

trade khudobin or ward for a higher pick

trade 3rd round pick for dubnyk

profit

 

[What the Faulk]

This was back when we were all so sure Ward was going to move on and no one wanted to keep Peters around.

I'm sure I've been wrong plenty of times around here, this one just stuck in my mind.

'Yotes fans are all praising Sean Burke for how he supposedly resurrected Dubnyk's career. Tons of talk of what a great goatlending coach he is.

I can only wonder what's going on with Mike Smith.

He is the one that turned Bryz and Mike Smith into multi-millionaires......

And then they both turned into complete dumpster fires...

 

[Joe McGrath]

And then they both turned into complete dumpster fires...

Maybe he can only make short term fixes? Mike Smith was a total disaster when he got to Arizona and he went to the Olympics shortly after. Now for whatever reason he sucks again. Maybe Burke spent too much time fixing Dubnyk?

Burke is kind of uniquely qualified to coach those bigger goalies.

I would pay good money to see Tim Gleason or Ron Hainsey make hamburger of Marchand's little rat face if Marchand did that to one of our guys.

I love the stunned silence for a few seconds before that line, like, "**** how can I spin this, how can I spin this, THINK...damn, gotta say something, uh..."
