They'll work it out. Army isn't going to let Chief get away. I'm not worried.
Very happy with 3yrs. Let's get another ****ing Cup because we're a good ****ing team
Christiano whatever on Twitter probably has it. I watched it in ESPN+I've been looking everywhere for Berube's pregame speech just prior to G7 that has the quote you just referenced, can't find it. Can someone help me out here?

Terms not disclosed yet, as far as I know.not that it matters but what was the money at
What stands out to me is Bylsma. The circumstances in his first cup are interesting because he won a cup with a dynamite team and a good enough goalie. I think Binny is arguably better than Fleury at , but this team isn't nearly as good up front as the Penguins team. Defense is probably better, but the difference is coaches to me. Berube is obviously a much better coach than Bylsma, so I think his chances of repeating are higher than most coaches. If we sign him under 4 mil, then it's an absolute steal.More context - here's the Cup-winning coaches either active or available:
-- Babcock, TOR (2008 - DET): $6.25 million per
-- Quenneville, FLA (2010, 2013, 2015 - CHI): $6 million per
-- Julien, MTL (2011 - BOS): at leats $4 million per, perhaps as much as $5 million per.
-- Trotz, NYI (2018 - WSH): reportedly at least $4 million per
-- Sullivan, PIT (2016, 2017): about $3 million per on his current deal, but that signed was before he won the 2nd Cup.
-- Laviolette, NSH (2006 - CAR): the best I can find, he's getting $2 million per through 2020-21.
-- Tortorella, CBJ (2004 - TB): was at $2 million per before his latest extension through 2020-21.
-- Sutter (2012, 2014 - LA): his last contract paid more than $3 million per; if he came back, he'd get at least that and probably more.
-- Bylsma (2009 - PIT): his last contract with Buffalo paid $3 million per.
-- Carlyle (2007 - ANH): I can't find what he was making when Anaheim canned him this year, but I think it's safe to say his head coaching days are probably over, so let's cross him off the list.
You could go on back to Bob Hartley (2001 - COL) I suppose; his last deal with Calgary paid about $2 million or so. But I don't know if Hartley gets another shot in the NHL, so I'll put him in the "won't be a HC again" pile with Carlyle.
So minimum, I think you're talking $3 million per for a Cup-winning coach unless it's someone who's a decade or so removed from winning. [Which applies unless you're Toronto, in which case you multiple market value by about 2 to make sure you get your guy.] Even if you want to use the "well, he really doesn't have much experience" line, Bylsma took over the Pens late and guided them to a Cup, and 3 years later was getting $3 million per from Buffalo. For everything he did to turn the team around this season and then guide it through the postseason, I think if you manage to get him under $3 million it's a steal - but I think if you try it you risk him talking to someone else and getting more than $3 million and decent term from someone who really wants to win soon.
