Don't worry it's 100% sheer stupidity. Geoff Ward has no idea what he is doing
I think its more directed at Tip than Holland. But Kenny sure didn't help himself in the last 12 months with his acquisitions/not filling holes. He didn't have much to work with, but the optics are that he wasn't exactly creative.
It's telling to me that no coach we've had since Darryl Sutter has been rehired as a head coach in the NHL. Ward is the lowest paid head coach in the league. I guess you get what you pay for.
Well hold on, I actually think Peters was a decent coach for a while. Anyways, BT was given a chance this summer to go big on a top end coach and chose not to, even after that embarrassing exit in the playoffs. As much as I like his RFA dealing I'm not a fan of his coaching staff decision making.
Peters has never won a playoff series and only coached in a single playoff series. Was he better than Ward? Sure, but that's not a high bar. Zero playoff wins one playoff appearance in 5 seasons of coaching isn't what I would call a decent coach. Then look at how much better Carolina was after he was gone.
Modern management needs to be creative.
You'd have to be adding, I definitely wouldn't trade Rakell for Bennett straight up.
I would do Heinen for Bennett in a heartbeat if that's what you guys are looking for
As others have said, Flames do this in an instant.
Always have like Reaves and 2nds, so I’d do this. Would love a heavy winger on the fourth line who doesn’t drag the line down.
