Turns out Clode is a lot smarter than you think. They're probably going to play CC in the AHL so it's not even a concern....sad thing is Clod will start off his career on a line with Byron and Danault/Evans...
No, he isn't...if he was, he'd have already switched up the D-pairings...or removed Gallagher from Danault's line...or tried something new on the PP instead of the Habs being more dangerous shorthanded than with the man advantage...shall I go on, cuz there's a ton of material...

Didn't say he was a genius but if someone coach 1257 games in the NHL, he's probably more qualified than all of us combined.No, he isn't...if he was, he'd have already switched up the D-pairings...or removed Gallagher from Danault's line...or tried something new on the PP instead of the Habs being more dangerous shorthanded than with the man advantage...shall I go on, cuz there's a ton of material...

Therrien sucks compared to other NHL coaches, but he's still a much better coach than any of us here.

I heard he looks small out there. Could be just a rumour.

Debatable. Most of us could surround ourselves with Xs and Os associate coaches and treat the players with a modicum of respect and intelligence and they would likely perform better for us.
If you don’t have anything else to say, just don’t write anything. We already know your fetish with big players and it’s hella annoying, that’s legit all you talk about.

He's producing and the leader on his team. Without Caufield, Wisconsin would be near the bottom of the NCAA. They got 5 pt/game quality players and then a drop off. Caufield and Holloway standing out.
Caufield as a small player in the NHL will be fine as long as he is surrounded with the right pieces. Same issues we had with Drouin. Talent needs to play with talent and soft talent needs to have wingers who can shelter them physically to some degree.
I feel Caufield will help our PP but he likely gets AHL time

CC ultimately probably replaces Tatar in the lineup. Think the Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson line is a keeper so depends how you wanna divvy up the rest.

It kinda does. Atkinson, Gaudreau, Boeser all came in the league right away and were top 6 forwards. Connor dominated the most of all and took 50 games of total domination in the AHL before coming in, im sure if they had stuck with him though, he wouldve been fine, probably a good move to let him simmer though.
Yes, a true mastermind.

Caufield likely does not replace Tatar that quickly though right? We will see I guess but I feel he will have pro adjustment time required. However, when he is ready to play NHL, it might come at a perfect time with KK cause he will be stronger as a center. I think Caufield plays off wing on the PP but at RW 5/5
22/23
Drouin / Suzuki / Anderson
Toffoli / KK / Caufield
Poehling / Danault / Gallagher
Lehkonen / Evans / Ylonen
Is there room on this team for Armia and the type of contract he will be looking for? I'd hate to loose him but not sure we can afford to pay him to play 4th line?

help
This is what happened with Suzuki. Started on the 4th. Julien saw he could give more and now he's playing with our two best winger....sad thing is Clod will start off his career on a line with Byron and Danault/Evans...

A few NHL players are similar size to CC. Gaudreau is tiny. Byron isn't much bigger. But yes, every time I watch Caufield play, I'm astounded by how small he looks. It's weird but Gaudreau and Byron just don't appear to be that small. Not saying he can't be productive in the NHL though. I remember hating to play against very small players as they were so hard to hit without getting a penalty...

Smarter, maybe, because my opinion of Claude is pretty low but, a lot smarter, I highly doubt it.
Julien only knows one system, he can't adapt, is bound to get outcoached by a coach who has enough braincells to chew and breathe at the same time and needs the players to fit his system to be successful.
The only positive I see is that Julien is allegedly a good communicator so isn't despised by some of his players like Therrien was, for example. Liked doesn't mean competent, though or, not nearly as competent as what the bar should be for our head coach.

About Julien : He might not be the right guy, I can accept that, but I feel some posters here are really overconfident about their own ability if they believe they could do a similar or a better job, especially if they never coached at an elite level in minor hockey. Coaching is an art and training high level athletes demands a credibility and knowledge that probably no one here has. There's a reason why all these old coaches get recycled over and over and it's certainly not out of habit. If there was so many proper candidates lingering around, it would make no economical sense for all these teams to always rehire the same coaches. We've seen many highly decorated minor league coaches (AHL, Major junior) join the league to only get spitted out of the NHL after a brief stint. Julien stays in the league because he belongs, that's as simple as that.
So what you’re saying is you’d be able to coach an AHL team no problem, like no issues whatsoever.....develop them, run practices and out coach AHL coaches????
You’re right behind Claude in coaching tactics and managing an NHL roster??
