Claude Julien is still the coach of the Boston Bruins at the end of this extension: yes or no?
I'm rather sure Jacobs would rather lose games than lose close to $10m, so yes.

My opinion (often incorrect) is that Kelly up there with Looch and Griff is simply a way to have a solid 3 zone player on that line (defensive conscious). Sods is solid defensively, but not as polished as Kelly in his own zone
See I think the 3 zone play improves with the Swedes. You have Loui covering defensively and Soda boosting the line offensively.
Kelly on that Looch line right now makes sense to me, not even close to what I would ever want as a top line center and I`m nothing but positive Kelly doesn`t view this as an ideal spot for him to be in a lineup but as I opined, while I think Sods defensive zone game is good, Kelly`s is often exceptional, his recognition and anticipation of where to be is terrific.
Again, elephant in the room it seems, my biggest concern is or question, should we be more concerned about DK`s hip???

that wasn't the question though. losing the full $9m would mean he gets fired before the extension even begins. Julien could easily get fired with 6 months left on his extension and then Jacobs would only be out a million and a half and that would still qualify as Julien "not being the coach of the Bruins at the end of his extension"
I doubt they fire him. If they did decide to can him though, the recent track record is that PC would have to unofficially operate the team below whatever the per year value of the extension is. Like they did when PC wanted to cut bait with Lewis...
Yep, they'd be stuck with $3M in dead money. Like with Chris Kelly.
Now I'm usually a Clode fan but this season he's been frustrating the hell out of me.
Loui-Soda-Looch seems like a very obvious line combo in the absence of Krejci.
Especially if there's been trouble scoring.
And yet they've only spent a handful of shifts together despite looking good in those shifts.
Can someone who understands this man tell me why he is not doing this?
What are the reasons against this line combo?
They did. Can't rationally discuss our head coach right now.
Very very bad coach who is still in game because of thomas, he is more and more bad
His regular season record in seven years behind the Boston bench stands at 310-165-65 with a .634 win percentage in that span.
I agree Kelly's defensive game is great but you would still be covered defensively with the Swedes. It's hard to call Kelly a solid three zone player right now when he's been held pointless in 8 or 9 games now. I wouldn't say he's solid offensively right now and that's the problem, especially if they're trying to get Lucic going.
I would also love to see what happens to Griffith on the 3rd. See if things open up for him a little bit and with the pressure of being off the 1st line he can make something happen consistently.i think he's the real deal but having him on the 1st is not ideal IMO.

All due to Thomas, of course.
If Julien is a "very very bad coach" I'd really like to know who's good.
The Bs are 9-3 in there last 12 without Chara and Krejci for the most part and people are killing Claude jeez this place is tough
This is some of Claude's best work to have this team where they are basically playing with 5 inexperienced Defensemen and 1 Vet
I never said , all is due to thomas, julien has been a good coach but his incapacity to change and make any adaptation make him more and more a old dynosaure , and for thomas , without his miracles in playoffs in 2011 clode, julien would be fired , that don't pull all julien sucess, i respect him and all he done , but now his time is past and he refuse to adapt and keep his 2011 thought , everything who don't make evolution desaspear amd he will after 2 other lost against habs in palyoffs, clode have zero total zero thought how to beat habs , he even don't try anything , the rangers coach easily stopped subban in last playoffs and this way beat habs , clode have great opportunity to give experience to young bruins but no , he refuse and continue to play gagne , campbell and other of his favorites, he is there to win. YES, but we really see this team is not a contenter anymore, not at all, many players from there, so it is time to change strategy and see more far than next game, but clode just can't , not his fault , he ijust don't have what is needed to think, but he was a great system coach...in the past
