I have a serious man crush on Hitch..I could listen to him all day.
To me the best case scenario is (as
@5 Mins 4 Ftg said) is for the Oilers to have enough success that Hitch stays on as HC for a couple of years. Then maybe he could stay on as a Senior consultant in some capacity.
I would like to see him become a permanent part of this organization moving forward but I dont think GM is a fit.
He was born to coach...he is just so damn smart and all over any tools/information that makes him a better coach.
I loved today in the PC when he mentioned the analytics and how the Zykov acquisition was a good fit for that reason.
Its something I never would have heard TMac talk about.
He then talked about the best fit for the player and which line would support the player the best.
Music to my ears.
