Minnesota Wild. Received a lot of credit for helping Dumba and other D-men in their development.

Personally, I also like his work on the NHL network. His analysis would extend beyond his reputation as a physical player. Showed an appreciation for transition and speed.

If he was brought in, would he put in the same role as he was in MIN?

Honestly not sure. Other than random rumors of him being an option... there’s nothing certain as of yet.

Just some additional information. He also served as an associate coach of the Devils. The reason he left the Wild was because the distance and travel was a source of strain on his family still in the NY/NJ area.

Like many here, I'll feel a lot better if Korn, Stevens, and Hunter are the next three guys added to the organization.

Our goalies will be in need of constant tutelage and I want to know that a former NHL Dman who understood everything about the position in all three zones is guiding our blueline kiddies.

Amen! It will be the first time that the "adults" are indisputably in charge of the team. Between the Front Office and the Coaching Staff, we would have a group that has experience - and success - all around the league. I have high hopes for the rest of the CS (including Korn) as Trotz brought over Lambert - he seems to get the guys he wants and specifically mentioned Korn by name when he first joined. If that's Stevens, great. If not, I will trust that the guys he brings and wants to work with will be beyond competent. I presume that there are lots of NHL coaches who would like to work with a Stanley Cup winning coach and legit good guy.

I posted a while back something like Trotz' assistants will probably be more qualified than Weight was when he was hired to be HEAD coach. Turns out to be true.

All things considered, Weight didnt exactly set a very high bar.

I mean it’s bad enough that people want to discredit Barzal’s five point games as anomalies. What’re they going to say when he is pulling down touchdowns!

Horrible call! You just gave up a safety on an unprotected blitz! Go feel shame!

He is a terrific hire, one of the fast risers out of the OHL, potential head coach in the future. Players go to war for him.

I've gotta watch more MNF, I guess.

 

[Brunomics]

I'm pumped. This means that Pulock is going to be an All Star QB in no time!

 

[Skip To My Lou]

God this is amazing. Not because I like the hire (I do), but now it gives me a reason make football Gruden jokes and attempt to talk in his voice.

 

[SI90]

If he does what he did for the Bucs then I’m more than happy.

Why?! When you can use an actual all-American QB in Anders Lee.

 

[SI90]

How do you get fired, re-hired, and then fired again in the same season? Lol must be something in the water in flint.

 

[And You Feel Shame]

Horrible call! You just gave up a safety on an unprotected blitz! Go feel shame!

You called?

 

[MattMartin]

Did we just hire "the better" Gruden?

Draining the swamp.

Brathwaite still has to go for the swamp to have been drained.
