Absolutely and the one I was most worried about when the arena fell through. Considering how bad May was July/August have been great!Biggest move this offseason.
Let's put the brakes on guys. AT has done an amazing job so far, but he, the players, and the organization have not had any pressure on them. Going forward that will change. Let's see how AT fairs when pressure mounts, and how he and the team reacts in the playoffs. He certainly deserves a contract extension, but with coaches it's "what have you done for me lately."Longtime Yotes fans... is he the best coach we've ever had? I think he might be. Maybe Tippett for a few years in there but I feel like AT is better -- good tactically, great at development, also a strong communicator. That's a rare (and amazing) set of skills
We’ll have to see how he does with a talented team with actual real expectations. He’s been excellent so far thoughLongtime Yotes fans... is he the best coach we've ever had? I think he might be.

Rumor is only holdup is Bear wants extensions for the rest of his staff.
What Tippett didn't do is successfully develop a young player or play an entertaining style. Vet players, a heavy trap, and relying on hot goalies worked for a couple years for sure, but when it went bad it never got better again.Tippett still holds that honour until someone else has more playoff success and a couple of 100 point seasons.

Bear is showing me a lot more potential.
No man left behind mentality. I see why the players and everyone connected to him speak so highly of him.That is the best reason ever to holdup a contract
