He's retiring after this season, Don't see him being interested in the Vegas job.

Krueger is excellent. He was awesome in Edmonton and he knows how to run a great power play. Players would love him and I think the city of Las Vegas would enjoy his personality as well

krueger actually got something out of the oilers a couple seasons back
still baffling that they'd fire him but its the oilers. the guy definitely deserves another shot at a HC gig

I wouldn't have minded Boudreau as the first coach. He may not be the greatest decision maker and strategist in the playoffs but he's an excellent regular season coach and his ability to elevate the play of players you wouldn't expect to be impact players is fantastic. That quality would've been perfect for a roster made up of spare parts. Shame he took the Minnesota job.

I wont say anything about Krueger being fired cause this thread doesn't deserve that.
He knew how do identify his players strengths and knew how to cast his players in roles that would allow them the best chance to succeed.
the team also played a pretty exciting style of hockey and the guy truly enjoys the game and has a pretty warm and upbeat personality.
The team wont have the personnel for that type of game, at least initially.
You will have 4 lines of 2nd/3rd line tweeners but great goaltending and defense.
While its the worst form of hockey there is, a trap system would be ideal for the initial squad to play.

Marc Crawford.
Coaches an exciting brand of hockey.
Quite surprised he hasn't been brought back from Switzerland.
He has interviewed for a couple positions though.

You must have missed it. He's working for the Ottawa Senators under Guy Boucher.

he may be an assistant for the 16-17 season, but Crawford has been wanting to get back into the league as a head coach for a long time. If he was given the opportunity to go from being the assistant in Ottawa to HC of Vegas in 17-18, he'll be on a plane going southwest in a New York minute

Don't teams have to ask for permission to speak to other teams coaching staff? I could be wrong about this though. I know teams have to receive permission to talk to fired coaches.
If this is true, Ottawa may as well not give permission to Vegas to contact Crawford.

I'm not an expert at all, but isn't the permission only required if the move is lateral?

Meaning assistant to assistant would be lateral. Assistant coach to coach would not.
I'm not sure that's correct though.

Same position. He would be getting a promotion if he became a head coach elsewhere.
Crawford is dreadful. Do not want.

Retired I hope, with no thoughts of returning... I hope.
Don't want Crawford. Ron Wilson could turn out as a top candidate.
