Assistant coach Kirk Muller was also fired.
This is why a lot of people don’t trust the analytics community. Anyone watching the games with their eyeballs knows Dougie is struggling and somehow he belongs in the Norris conversation?
He shouldn't belong in the Norris conversation regardless. Neither should Faulk for that matter. I miss when defensive play actually played a part in the Norris conversation, instead of it just being "Hey, look at how many points this defenseman has put up!'
His GSVA is inflated because of his 8 points, 5 are goals which ties him 4th in that regard. Also add in STL is much better than Vancouver which keeps his defensive numbers up.Well, Faulk definitely isn't in there for points (8 in 19GP)...I think he has the league-leading mythical +/- though
To be clear, Dougie is not in the Norris conversation per that article. He is however in the list of "Expected contenders currently outside the picture".
Faulk's play to this point in the year has been great and he clearly deserves to be on that list if you factor in defensive contribution.
Seattle I could see because he is from Vancouver Island but Montreal, nah.
I didnt say he was going to Seattle but it is plausible. Rod is straight shooter but even straight shooters know what is best to say in the media.No. Rod has been in NC for far too long and his family and roots are here now. If he's not coaching the Hurricanes then he's not coaching anywhere else and he's pretty much said as much.
I mean, he gave Brindy his current contract, right?I'd love to see TD bring his "I don't believe in contracts" to this table, or whatever nonsense he said about Waddell.
Which is amongst the lowest in the league, and wasnt it said Rod didnt really care at that time about it?I mean, he gave Brindy his current contract, right?
Sure, I'm just saying, he'll obviously give contracts even if he doesn't want to. He didn't strong arm Brindy into no contract like he tried with Waddell. Hopefully he learned that lesson and I'm sure he'll give Brindy a significantly better deal regardless. I'm not worried about it in the slightest.Which is amongst the lowest in the league, and wasnt it said Rod didnt really care at that time about it?
He's in demand now, whether he has any intention of leaving or not he has significantly upped his value.
Oh I know he's going to give a contract. Just felt like a good time to get a laugh about how he approached Waddell.Sure, I'm just saying, he'll obviously give contracts even if he doesn't want to.

Yeah, completely fair. I don't begrudge Dundon trying to change things up on that front, but luckily he was smart enough to cave. I hope he's smart enough not to do it again.Oh I know he's going to give a contract. Just felt like a good time to get a laugh about how he approached Waddell.
You'd think. He has been very clear that he doesnt think anyone but the players are worth a lot of money, and that everyone is replaceable. That somewhere out there is someone who's hungry and ready for their chance and will do it for cheaper.Yeah, completely fair.

Time to shut up about all that and pay Rod a fair wage.
He said anyone not contributing directly to the on-ice product. I think he knows Rod’s value.

I believe he stays. If we were to entertain possible openings and probable openings at seasons' end, Seattle would be on it. Montreal, i would say no. Buffalo, no even though they have K Adams. Then it really depends who opens up after that.
What do you think JW wants to do - coach or manage? He may have the skill set for both. Does he get along with RF now?
Sure, he might go to Seattle because of his relationship with Francis or them throwing a ton of money and resources at him but the 'grew up in BC thing and being close to Seattle' I don't believe is much of a reason here. He was born in Ottawa, grew up in Prince Rupert (which is basically at the border of Alaska) and in Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Moved to saskatchewan when he was 15-16 years old to play in the under 18 league. That's not to say he doesn't have history and ties to the Pacific Northwest of Canada but I highly doubt that he's eager to pack up his family and move literally as far away from NC as possible. He's got a fairly young kid with his current wife right? And his wife is the daughter of Eddie Biedenbach who was the UNC basketball coach for like 20 years? All I'm saying is he's probably got more family ties to the NC area than in BC where it doesn't seem like he's been since he was a kid and doesn't seem like he really goes back to in the offseason or anything.
I mean Vancouver and Seattle are the same place, if you miss Vancouver you can move to Seattle and that will make sense.
Eddie played for ncsu and coached UNC-Asheville not UNC.And his wife is the daughter of Eddie Biedenbach who was the UNC basketball coach for like 20 years?
