What was with the Knoblauch signing, then?

I know I've been reading that Barry Trotz is starting to feel some heat in Washington. If the Caps let him go, what would people think about Trotz as a possible coach in Philadelphia? Trotz would certainly bring much needed structure to the Flyers and he's got a very good track record in developing defensemen. He could be a great fit for the young guys. We all know how good Provorov is. Just imagine how much better he would get under Trotz's watch. Same with Sanheim, Morin and Gostisbehere.
I understand people will have reservations about his playoff coaching record and that's something that has to be considered. At the same time, getting everyone on the same page, playing a team game and developing a system that fits the talent on the club is a must and I think Trotz could be the guy to get it done.
Hakstol coached Hextall’s kid at North Dakota. Hextall did this before. When he was with LA & running their AHL he hired Mark Morris as the HC who coached his kid in prep school. That’s the connection & what ultimately lead to Hextall going with Hakstol.

I would be more amenable to Hextall including his stupid kid in draft pictures.
Brett’s a development coach for the organization now.

If I was Brett’s old gym teacher I would be dusting off my resume.
Just beat by a better team. caps should have won last year andwould have if not for the pens.Trotz is interesting but I'm conflicted. He does some great gameplanning during the regular season, then when the Playoffs come around it seems to go out the window.

View attachment 83821Concerning NHL hockey knowledge as a COACH...If clues were shoes...Babs wears glass slippers and Haks goes around bare foot!
Babcock's hockey smarts are evident(Because glass is clear you see that it symbolizes how clear it is to see through slipper))
Somehow I didn't get all that from the original metaphorBabcock's hockey smarts are evident(Because glass is clear you see that it symbolizes how clear it is to see through slipper))
Hakstol is just plain dumb{No shoes,boots ,slippers or sneakers...referring to clues(brains)...footwear wasn't
included when he came on board! And pretty soon he won't have a leg to stand on regarding his coaching philosophy..
Imagine me working metaphors with hockey!

Do you club seals? I think @Captain Dave Poulin may have some words for you.
I can't take any eskimo bad puns.Yeah, I know some people get their jollies that way, but I'm seriously not Inuit.
