Possibly.

 

[Tofveve]

It seems like he deserves it. Thus, I think so.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Lots of vacancies this off season, so it could happen.. or teams will continue to recycle the same coaches as per the normal NHL operating standards.

 

[Oliewud]

hes a gutless puke

signed, tortorella

 

[Metroid]

Next oilers coach.

 

[izzy]

he should get a job with a bad team

hes good at motivating so he could help change a culture a bit

 

[Iggys Dome]

Next oilers coach.

Legit don’t think this would be the worst idea for them...look what he did with the flames in 14-15. Run n gun style that fits mcdavid perfectly

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I just love how a guy named Bob Hartley can be so...French...but that's not the point of this thread. I think he's a very good coach, and I thought that he would've been a great fit with the Canes before they hired Brind'Amour in-house. This is just a hunch, but I think he will be the 1st Seattle coach.

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

Loved him with the Flames. Gets the most out of the guys on the roster, if you give him good assistants he could go far.

 

[Sam Spade]

I hope not until he does his week long clinic that I just paid for. My son is scheduled to attend it in July.

 

[ottawa]

I hope the habs will sign him as an assistant coach after letting go of Kirk Muller.

Edit: I also hope he signs with the habs on June 30th, one day short of July.

 

[BlueDream]

I don't see why he would. I really liked him back with the Avs, but he literally hasn't done anything since then.

 

[ESH]

He gets his players to work hard, I can say that much

 

[ottawa]

I don't see why he would. I really liked him back with the Avs, but he literally hasn't done anything since then.

Yes, except for making it to the KHL finals this year just a few hours ago

Hartley and Torts both coaching in the Metro would be entertaining.

 

[BlueDream]

Yes, except for just making it to the finals this year in the KHL.

Ok? Honestly, who cares?

 

[ottawa]

Ok? Honestly, who cares?

People who aren't ignorant and aware that Hartley is still in fact coaching.

 

[Vachon23]

I can see him go with LA. He coached Rob Blake and won a Cup with him and he know how to deal with Kovalchuk

Good thing I never said he wasn't still coaching.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

I don't see why he would. I really liked him back with the Avs, but he literally hasn't done anything since then.

He's only four years removed from coaching laps around the Canucks to get his underdog team to the second round of the playoffs.

 

[ottawa]

Good thing I never said he wasn't still coaching.

Yeah, all you said was he hasn't done anything. Even more ignorant.

 

[OldCraig71]

The Buffalo Sabres could use Bob Hartley.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Thought he did really well in his time in Calgary. Didn't sign up for a rebuild but that's what he got and made the best of it, even making the playoffs ahead of schedule one year. The year he was let go the goaltending was atrocious. Think he's better than at least a third of the guys employed right now. Does kind of read as a short shelf life type of coach though.

 

[BlueDream]

Yeah, all you said was he hasn't done anything. Even more ignorant.

Yeah look at all the success he's had since his Cup! So much!

If he had so much success he wouldn't even be in the KHL right now, guy.
